Marnus Labuschagne didn’t look comfortable throughout the game and the ball swung back every time he tried to leave the ball. The last ball hits his pads, a great stimulus, but the referee shakes his head.

India vs Australia Live: Shaky Steve Smith barely survives

Steve Smith didn’t feel well at all this morning. Be it against Bumrah or Akash Deep, the veteran Australian batsman struggled to read the line and behavior of the ball well. In the commentary, Harbhajan Singh believes he wouldn’t last long.

IND vs AUS 3rd Test, Day 2 LIVE: Bumrah strikes again, India rejoices

WICKET! For the fourth time in McSweeney’s 3-Test career, Jasprit Bumrah sent him off. Excellent start for India, all thanks to Bumrah, who also makes the second opener. Rohit was thrilled.

The footage from the broadcast showed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma having numerous conversations about the fielding. If the fielders were placed accordingly, India could have had a few more catching opportunities. The team just has to prevent new signing Labuschagne from establishing himself in the middle.

WICKET!!!! Jasprit Bumrah, you beauty. Usman Khawaja once again goes to the Indian talisman pacer. India made a much-needed breakthrough at the start of the second day and none other than the team’s greatest magician caused the damage.

India vs Australia 3rd Test live: Bumrah with big LBW call

Nice call for LBW from Jasprit Bumrah and other close-in fielders but the umpire isn’t impressed. Skipper Rohit consulted with wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant but decided against a DRS. Bumrah looks good this morning.

India vs Australia Live: Bumrah’s in-depth chat with Gambhir, Rohit, Morkel

Pictures from this morning suggested that Bumrah had a detailed discussion with captain Rohit, head coach Gautam Gambhir and bowling coach Morne Morkel before the start of the game. India seems to have developed a strategy. But for now we have to wait.

Akash Deep is the first bowler to start India’s second day action with the ball. There is a mix of clouds and sun in the sky at the moment. We should make the most of 98.4 overs today, if not all of them. Akash Deep ends his first over of the day with a no-ball.

India vs Australia live: Will Rohit’s decision to bowl first backfire?

The Indian bowlers struggled with rhythm before the first rain break yesterday but looked better when the conditions changed slightly. But for Jasprit Bumrah and others there was simply no opportunity to bowl anymore. Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl first also came under scrutiny. It would be interesting to see how the bowlers start today.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 2 Live: The sun is shining

The sun has started to show its mercy at the Gabba in Brisbane this morning and we could get a timely start if conditions remain the same. However, the cloud cover at the venue scares everyone. But at least the game could start on time.

The sun was a real showstopper this morning, barely visible despite the worrying cloud cover that still remains over the Gabba. The forecasts are confusing, but things are looking good for a timely start to Day 2 #AusvInd pic.twitter.com/BPvmR26jSF
