 'That's been issue': Glenn McGrath

"That's been issue today, y have been very defensive and sitting back, waiting for b ball and just taking singles rar than looking a bit more intent and take it to bowlers and put a little bit of pressure back on bowlers," McGrath said on Sony Network while analysing match.

"Indian bowlers have been able to bowl wherever y want and when you are t scoring, you would get into trouble very soon because on such a pitch wickets will come sooner or later. So if you are t scoring you are t moving anywhere," he ded.

Indian bowlers rattle Aus batting line-up

India were bundled out for 244 after winning toss and electing to bat first riding on skipper Kohli's fighting 74. visitors lost four wickets for 11 runs in four overs on Day 2 as pacers Pat Cummins and, Mitchell Starc worked in tandem by taking four wickets apiece. 

hosts in reply got off to a poor start and lost half ir side with only Marnus Labuschagne  showing some resistance in top-order. Australia are 92/5 at tea break. 

However, once he departed for 47, onus was on skipper Tim Paine to take his team's first innings le past India's total. He toiled manfully from his end but did t receive much support from lower-order batsman as Aussies were bundled out for 191 as Paine top-scored with an unbeaten 73. 

India in ir second innings  are 9/1 after having lost opener Prithvi Shaw early on and le by 62 runs at end f play on Day 2.
