Overall : Australia : 2.5/3

Many fans have anticipated India's fall early in the day today. That did happen here today, thanks to some wonderful performance by debutante JR Hazlewood for his 5 wicket mark.

Steve Smith(65*)
Early in the morning, wickets fell starting with 1st day's Hero Rahene at 81. Rohit shortly followed him at 32, again falling to turn the good start into a better innings. Indian's will be wondering, if he is test player at-all.

Dhoni and Aswin continued with some good shots but still falling to make greater impact. Dhoni played some good shorts of MA Starc. Aswin(35) and Dhoni(33) fell in short intervals, leading to the collapse of Indian innings at 411.

Australia started their batting with fire-works. They maintained their run rate above 5 until 3 wickets fell. They only batted with an intention to score as many runs as possible anticipating the mornings conditions of third day, which could make it difficult for them to score runs.

DA Warner(29) and SR Watson(25) could not turn good starts to bigger innings but opener CJL Rogers(55) was very impressive. He made a good partner ship with all the other end batsmen. He was stumped by Indian Captain Dhoni, which make Dhoni's stump count equal to that of legendary Cricketer of Sri
Lanka, Sangarkara.

The New Australian Captain, Steve Smith(65*) played his natural game. He maintained run rate, playing shots all across the stadium. He scored boundaries with regular ease. He was well assisted by SE Marsh(32) before losing his wicket at the end of the day, thus letting India back into the innings.

The game at the end of the day, stands a chance for both the teams, thus making Test Cricket More interesting. Thanks to some good cricket here. We will be looking for some exiting game tomorrow. Catch you guys in tomorrow's review. Until then Take Care.
