5:52pm, Day 2, Stumps: The Test has changed complexion completely. Like after day 1, India are in front, but this is no more a green mamba. The pitch has gone brown. The pace has lowered, there has been movement off the seam at times, but Jaiswal and Rahul have been rock solid. They’ve been happy to narrow their focus and defend for long periods. Jaiswal took on scoring opportunities later in the day against a friendlier pitch and tiring bowlers. Both openers walk back in with a smile, a sigh of relief from Jaiswal, places his hand on the chest, looks up. He had a few cramps btw, some rest will help him before coming out tomorrow, in search of another breakthrough hundred. On the other side, Kohli was walking in for a few throwdowns.
IND 172/0 (57 ov, Yashasvi Jaiswal 90*, KL Rahul 62*, Marnus Labuschagne 0/2, IND vs AUS live score, 1st Test, day 3, Perth Stadium, November 22
