Aus 57-2 (27 ovs) vs India 250 | Scorecard

Australia adopted a cautious approach with the bat as they crawled to 57 for two in 27 overs at lunch on Day 2 in the first Test against India in Adelaide on Friday.

Earlier, India's innings lasted just one delivery on the second day as they were bowled out for 250 in their first innings when Mohammed Shami was caught down the leg side off Josh Hazlewood.

Australia were content to play it safe as they scored at around two runs per over in the morning session. Usman Khawaja showed a lot of patience as he battled his way to 21 not out from 86 balls, while Shaun Marsh was unbeaten on one from 17 balls.

Ishant Sharma struck in the first over of the inning as he bowled Aaron Finch for a duck, while debutant Marcus Harris made 26 before he was caught at silly point off Ravichandran Ashwin.

India's bowlers, especially the pacers, were guilty of bowling it too wide or too short and not making most of the new ball.

The only positive for India is that while they have picked up just two wickets in the session, they have not allowed Australia to get away with the scoring.
