Star Australian batter Travis Head was at his very best as he lit up the Adelaide Oval during the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test with an astonishing century. His ton and half-century from Marnus Labuschagne ensured that the hosts had a massive lead up their hand. Where India got all out for 180 runs, the Aussies managed to post 337 runs on board and gain a massive 157-run lead in the first innings.
Jasprit Bumrah struck early
India's premium pacer Jasprit Bumrah was once again at his best as he removed the overnight opener Nathan McSweeney and Steve Smith early on and gave the Aussies a big blow.
However, Marnus Labuschagne steadied the ship along with Travis Head and even completed his half-century. Nitish Reddy did remove Labuschagne and ended his knock at 64 but it did not smooth things too much for the visitors as Travis Head completely destroyed the Indian bowling attack.
Travis Head's ton put Aussies on driver's seat
The star Aussie batter Travis Head smashed his 8th Test ton and 3rd on the Adelaide Oval. His knock ensured that Australia will have a big lead to enjoy as India would come out to bat for their second innings. His knock came to an end at 140 runs but it could possibly be match-winning for the hosts.]
India will have an uphill task of bringing down the 157-run lead and later setting a big target and none of it appears to be an easy task as the Australian bowlers have been at their lethal best, especially Mitchell Starc.
