Meanwhile, Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar have helped India avoid an embarrassing follow-on. At the time of filing the copy, India are 326 for seven and they trail by 148 runs. 

AS IT HAPPENED

Reddy is now just 15 runs away from a maiden Test century. He has found excellent support from Washington Sundar, who is 40 not out off 115 balls and has done hard yards to stay at the crease. With the pitch flattening out, Australia weren’t able to make any decisive strikes with the second new ball, as Reddy and Sundar ensured India also averted follow-on.

The second session began with Reddy and Sundar rotating strike consistently against the old ball, before Australia immediately took the second new ball. Reddy, who impressed again with his punchy drives and keeping the scoreboard moving, reached his first Test fifty by unfurling a lofted drive over cover point for four off Mitchell Starc and recreating a popular scene of film actor Allu Arjun from Telugu movie ‘Pushpa’.

Shortly after, India reached the magic number of 275, which meant the follow-on was averted, leading to cheers by fans in the stadium. Such was the ease of run-scoring with the second new ball that Sundar even got four runs while running between the wickets against Starc.
