Meanwhile, India is reeling in the ongoing Test at SCG. At stumps on Day 2, India are 141 for six with a lead of 145. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar are in the middle and they have a mountain to climb. With a lead of 2-1 and given the position the hosts are in, Australia could very well wrap up the Test tomorrow. If they do and win the match, they will take the prestigious BGT from India. The Indian team would love to avoid that but it will not be easy at all against a high-on-confidence Australian side.
