The opening of the pink ball Test match favoured the Australians as the home crowd witnessed a jaffa from their premier pacer, Mitchell Starc. The speedster dismissed India's Yashasvi Jaiswal on the very first ball of the second Test match

Mitchell Starc later registered another five-wicket haul to his Test records. This was the fourteenth five-wicket haul for the star Australian in the longest format of the game

Team India skipper Rohit Sharma who missed out on the first match came to bat in down the order. However, it was expected that the skipper would bat at number four, but it came as a surprise when he entered the ground at number six. Facing 23 deliveries, Rohit Sharma departed on just three runs in the first essay of the match

KL Rahul did not let his team's hopes down as he scored 37 runs in 64 balls while opening the innings for India. Showcasing pure patience and grittiness, the batsman also smashed 6 fours during his knock

India despite losing wicket at regular intervals, Nitish Kumar Reddy's batting was another positive sight for the visitor's dugout. The 21-year-old played a glorious knock of 42 runs in 54 balls. His knock was laced with 3 fours and 3 sixes

During Australia's innings, a heated moment was seen between Marnus Labuschagne and Mohammed Siraj. Labuschagne did not show signs of readiness even after Siraj was about to release the ball. The Indian later threw the ball anyway towards the Aussie batsman, which in return was declared a dead-ball. It later came to know that the batsman was disturbed by the sight of a person carrying empty beer glasses

After the dismissal of Australia's Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Nathan McSweeney batted all day long. Labuchagne and McSweeney will resume the play on day two with scores of 38 and 20 runs, respectively
