Snapshot of the second day of the second India-Australia Test

INDIA V AUSTRALIA, SECOND TEST, DAY TWO

SCORE: Australia 263 and 1-61, India 262

SUMMARY: A day of wild momentum swings. India seemed to be taking control at 0-45 until Nathan Lyon worked his magic. The hosts slumped to 7-139, but bowling all-rounders Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin beat India to within a run of the lead. Australia then started their second innings aggressively, racing to stumps at 1-61.

MAN OF THE MOMENT: Nathan Lyon had his critics after a stunning performance in Nagpur. But the 35-year-old hit back with one of the best spells of his 117 Test career to go 5-67.

KEY MOMENTS: Virat Kohli and his army of fans were furious after the star Indian was handed off to Australian debutant Matt Kuhnemann. Kohli reviewed the decision but the third referee stayed on the pitch at the tough decision by Indian referee Nitin Menon.

STATE OF THE DAY: Patel and Ashwin partnered for a 114-run – the third highest eight-wicket tally by an Indian pair against Australia.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “If he’s recovered well I wouldn’t be surprised if you see him out there again.” – Lyon on David Warner, who retired from the Test with a concussion.
