TEA - DAY 2

India 153-2 (60 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard

Another session which belongs to India as they go into the tea break at 153 for two in 60 overs, trailing Australia by 147 runs.

India's 'Wall' Pujara once again stood tall to thwart the Aussie bowlers as registered yet another fifty, to be unbeaten on 53 at the tea break. Rahane played a few strange shots at the start of his innings before he settled down to be 19 not out.

Earlier, KL Rahul made 60, his fifth half-century before he threw his wicket away with a reckless pull shot against Cummins as he was caught at mid-off.

Rahul and Pujara steadied India after the early dismissal of Vijay as they put on 87 runs for the second wicket.

India will look to bat in the same tempo after the tea break and look to get as close as possible to Australia's score before stumps on the second day.
