India 62-2 (26 ovs) vs Aus 369 | Scorecard

India lost both their openers as they reached the tea interval on 62/2 in 26 overs, on Day 2 of the fourth and final Test against Australia at the Gabba.

Captain Rahane was batting on 2, while Pujara was unbeaten on eight as India struggled after the dismissal of Rohit Sharma.

Rohit, who stroked a fluent 44 from 74 balls, looked set for a big knock before he threw his wicket away as he holed out at long-on trying to loft Nathan Lyon over the leg side.

India struggled after his dismissal, scoring just two runs from the next 6.1 overs.

Shubman Gill was caught in the slips off Pat Cummins for seven as India were rocked early after Australia had made 369 in their first innings.

Earlier, India's makeshift attack bowled Australia out for 369 to leave the fourth Test delicately poised.

Australia resumed on 274 for five at the Gabba, having finished day one in a promising position courtesy of Marnus Labuschagne's 108, his fifth Test century.

Their hopes of building a big total were thwarted, however, as India's bowlers rallied superbly to remove captain Tim Paine (50), Cameron Green (47) and Pat Cummins (2) for the loss of only four runs midway through the session.

Nathan Lyon soaked up his 100th Test and the acclaim of the Gabba crowd as the spinner pushed Australia past 350 before he was bowled by debutant Washington Sundar for 24 off 22 balls.

Mitchell Starc finished unbeaten on 20, after paceman Thangarasu Natarajan, the second of India's Test debutants, wrapped up the innings by bowling Josh Hazlewood for 11.

Natarajan finished with 3-78, while Sundar and Thakur also grabbed three wickets apiece.
