Travis Head’s impressive 140 runs propelled Australia to a first-innings total of 337, leading to a strong position in the second Test against India, who scored 180. Australian bowlers, particularly Scott Boland and Pat Cummins, dominated India’s batting lineup, as they struggled against the skilled bowling. India ended the day 29 runs behind, facing a challenging situation to level the series. With another day of play anticipated, Australia appears well set to equalize the five-match series.
