Ashwin puts Aussies on backfoot
Senior off-spinner R Ashwin produced one of his most memorable overseas performances as Indian bowlers collectively terrorised Australia into submission, bowling them out for 191 on Day 2 of the opening Day/Night Test on Friday. (AP Photo)
India dominate Day 2
Courtesy Ashwin's 18-3-55-4, India successfully managed to neutralise a sub-par first innings score of 244. Rival skipper Tim Paine (73 off 99 balls) was the only home batsman to show stomach for a fight. (AFP Photo)
Shaw's weak defence
With a handy first innings lead of 53 runs, India found their opener Prithvi Shaw's defence being breached again before ending the day at 9/1 with an overall lead of 62 runs. (Reuters Photo)
Bumrah's fine all-round show
Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah (21-7-52-2) played the night watchman's role after Shaw's dismissal, giving company to Mayank Agarwal (5) when stumps were drawn. (AP Photo)
Old is gold for Umesh
Umesh Yadav (16.1-5-40-3) was brilliant with the old pink kookaburra as he bowled back of the length to get rid of the dangerous Marnus Labuschagne and Pat Cummins. (AFP Photo)
Luck eludes Shami
Mohammed Shami (17-4-41-0) was also immaculate with his length but he was let down by the fielders as the only glitch in their second day's performance was a poor catching effort. (Getty Images)
Skipper Paine holds the fort
Save for Labuschagne (47 off 119 balls), who couldn't capitalise on three reprieves, and skipper Paine, no other batsman seemed to know how to bat on a surface, which picked pace on the second day. (Reuters Photo)
Smith foxed by Ashwin
Ashwin set up Smith with a few that were flighted with the angle and then bowled one that straightened and bounced a touch more. Smith, expecting turn, squared up and Ajinkya Rahane at first slip made no mistake. (Getty Images)
Dismal debut for Green
Debutant Cameron Green (11) would curse himself as his was a long hop asking to be pulled but the extra bounce got the top edge and captain Virat Kohli pulled off a fabulous catch at mid-wicket, diving full-stretch to his right. (Getty Images)
'Luck' favours Labuschagne
Labuschagne was insanely lucky when Bumrah dropped a dolly at fine leg after the batsman had mis-timed a pull shot off Shami. After the dinner break, Labuschagne on 21, was dropped by Shaw at square leg and that was also a mis-timed pull-shot. (AP Photo)
Fine bowling by Starc
At the start of the day, Mitchell Starc (4/53 in 21 overs) and Pat Cummins (3/48 in 21.1 overs) dismissed the last four batsmen for an addition of only 11 runs to the overnight score of 233/6. (AFP Photo)
