Much like the first day of the opening Test, the second Test also witnessed a wicket-ravaged start in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If the first Test had 17 wickets fall on Day 1 in Perth, the day-night Test in Adelaide accounted for 11 wickets on Friday. 10 of those 11 wickets belonged to India who lost their last nine wickets for 111 runs. At the other end, they lost a wicket on the first ball of the contest.
Once looking at reaching 200-250 runs, India were dismissed for 180 and led by 94 runs at close with the Aussies reaching 86/1 at stumps.
