IND vs AUS 2nd Test, Day 1, Highlights: India trail by 242 runs at STUMPS

India are off to a steady start. The openers are looking to kill time as a loss of wicket would not be ideal for the hosts. 

India have dismissed Australia for 263. This is much better than their score of 177 that they had registered in the first innings of the first Test match of Nagpur. India openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma have come out to bat.

The Indian bowlers have struck in the final session of play. Australia still haven't made it to the 250-run mark and they are 9 wickets down as of now

The Indian cricket team are all over Aussies. The visitors are 8 wicket down and it looks as if they will have to toil hard again in this Test match

Australia were in sheer trouble with Ashwin wreaking havoc on their batters. Peter Handscomb has stood tall and has tried to bail Australia of a difficult situation

Australia have gone past the 200-run mark as Cummins and Handscomb are leading Australia's fight. 

The Players are back after Tea on Day 1. Aussie captain Cummins and Handscomb are out in the middle and Australia will want the pair to keep going as long as they can.

Australia have scored 105 runs in this session and have lost 3 wickets. The game as of now hangs in balance as Australia are 199/6 at the end of 2nd session of the first day

Australia have been severely restricted by the Indian team and the Aussie batters have once again struggled to score big. The Indian spinners have completely dominated the game and as of now, the Aussies are 6 wickets down

Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has scripted hsitory in the ongoing Test match. The Indian spinner has claimed 100 wickets in the history of Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Ashwin has dismissed Alex Carey

India's prolific all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has scripted history. Jadeja has now claimed 250 Test wickets and has become the fourth Indian to take 250 Test wickets and score 2500 runs. Jadeja has dismissed Usman Khwaja

Usman Khwaja has been very impressive in this particular Test match. Wickets kept on tumbling at the other hand, but Khwaja has been brilliant so far. It will be interesting to see if he can go on and score a century.

And we are back at it again. India have thrown in all their trump cards together. After Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel has been introduced. Another left-arm spinner to make things challenging for Aussies.

Just when Australia needed a partnership, Shami has struck and has dismissed Travis Head. Usman Khwaja has scored a solid fifty and has held one end.

Usman Khwaja and Travis head have an uphill task ahead of them. They need to ensure that Australia register a decent total in order to challenge India and gain some advantage in the match.

Australia have been restricted heavily, by none other than Ravichandran Ashwin.  The Indian spinner has sent Smith and Labuschagne back and it is the pair of Usman Khwaja and Travis Head who will have to rebuild for Australia

Australia had an advantage, but the tables turned pretty quickly for them. After Shami dismissed David Warner, Ravichandran Ashwin landed a double blow on the Aussies as he dismissed both Smith and Labuschagne in quick succession. Australia at 94/3 at 'LUNCH'

Aussies are 3 wickets down and all of a sudden it looks as if the vistors are in huge trouble. India have managed to send Smith and Labuschagne back and the Aussies have to toil hard

Marnus Labuschagne has joined Usman Khwaja in the middle. Labuschagne batted well in Nagpur, but he failed to convert his knock into a big one. He will try and get a big score for himself in Delhi and put his team in a strong position

India have finally managed to break the partnership that was brewing between David Warner and Usman Khwaja. Mohammad Shami has once again dismissed David Warner in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He had dismissed Warner in Nagpur too. Warner departs for 15 off 44 deliveries.

Australian openers Usman Khwaja and David Warner have looked extremely solid so far. hey have countered Indian pace and spin pretty well and they might go and register 50-run partnership 

David Warner is in a lot of trouble out there in the niddle. Mohammed Siraj has been bowling lethal bouncers to David Warner and the left-handed batter has been struggling against pace and bounce

David Warner and Usman Khwaja have started cautiously in Delhi as compared to Nagpur. Warner faced a dismissal scare early on, but since then, it has been extremely neat as far as Australian batting is concerned

Australia have taken no risk in the first half an hour and are 19/0.

Mohammed Siraj is having some treatment on his finger as the physio is out at the moment.

It is a decent start to the contest and have to say DRS has saved the Aussies early in the innings.

An LBW appeal is overtruned by DRS as David Warner is safe for the moment.

The action is underway at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi

Live action will start in less than 10 minutes as Australia will come out to bat with David Warner and Usman Khawaja.

Australia's Playing XI consists of only one pacer in the form of Pat Cummins while there is still no place for Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green.
