Captain Smith helps Australia swell lead

February 24, 2017 14:17

TEA - DAY 2

Aus 46-2 (16 ovs) & 260 vs India 105 | Scorecard

An eventful session as nine wickets fell for 81 runs in 31.1 overs, including two for Australia.

But the visitors are in total command with a handy lead of 201 runs with eight wickets still in hand.

Smith's positive intent was crucial as Australia managed to keep the runs coming despite the wickets of Marsh and Warner.

Australia will be feeling confident as anything over 200 would be very difficult to chase, batting last on this pitch.

Kohli seems very disappointed as he rushes off the field without waiting for his team mates, who will need to produce an improved showing after the tea break and look to make a match out of it.
