India 85-1 (33 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard


Welcome to the coverage of the post-lunch session on Day 2. Hazlewood will begin proceedings for Australia with the ball and facing him will be Rahul, who looked quite solid in the morning as he faced a testing spell from the pacers, including a barrage of short balls.

Rahul defends the first two balls before he drives the third through the gap in the covers for a four. He is struck on the gloves off the last ball as Hazlewood bowls a quick bouncer on the body.

Rahul receives some treatment after the injury to his finger while he tried to defend the delivery.

O'Keefe to bowl from the other end as Pujara takes a single before Rahul defends the rest of the over.

In the spinner's next over, he gets one to turn as the ball stays low and beats Rahul before going through the wicketkeeper's pads for four byes.

Rahul slog sweeps the next ball over midwicket for a six to move into the 40s followed by a single from the fifth ball.

Rahul looking to change gears as he upper cuts a short ball outside the off-stump from Hazelwood over the slip cordon a four. The last ball is short and this time Rahul, who was struck in the last over, goes for the pull, getting a single to fine leg, to inch closer to his fifty.
