On day 2 of the second Test match between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday (December 7, 2024), Australia will look to register a strong lead after restricting India to 180 in the first innings.
Australia finished on 86-1 with Nathan McSweeney 38 not out and Marnus Labuschagne unbeaten on 20. The side trails by 94 runs.
Australia’s left-arm Mitchell Starc picked up career-best test figures of 6-48 during his spell on the first day.

A self-effacing Starc downplayed the effort. “Yeah, I had the stumps (in my sights) and hit the pads. That’s it. Nothing special. I am still running in trying to attack the stumps, trying to swing it. Some days it works, some days it doesn’t,” the Australian spearhead told the media.
