When Australia bowled out the tourists for a mere 150 on day 1 in Perth, it seemed that all the pundits had called it right and that India would struggle to challenge Down Under this time around. A few days later and the same commentators were expounding the death of Australian cricket after they fell to a 295-run defeat.
India have welcomed back skipper Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Ravi Ashwin for their visit to the Adelaide Oval, but it's been the home side who have shown their class the pink ball to put themselves on the brink of tying up the series 1-1.
First came Mitchell Starc returning career best figures of 6 for 48 as the tourists crumbled to 180 all out. The stage was then set for Travis Head to smash a superb century to get the home side well ahead in the game. Five evening wickets later, and India have been left reeling — they're still in arrears heading into the third day.
