2nd Test, Day 2: Axar Patel Top-scores With 74 As India Bowled Out For 262; Australia Take One-run Lead
At one point, it looked like Australia will have a huge lead, as India were reduced to 139/7 in 50.5 overs. But Axar slammed 74 off 115 balls and shared an important 114-run partnership off 177 balls with Ravichandran Ashwin, who made 37 off 71 balls, for the eighth wicket to put India on the threshold of taking a lead.
But they missed out on the psychological advantage by a solitary run as Australia wrapped up the Indian first innings within 3.3 overs of taking the second new ball. For Australia, premier off-spinner Nathan Lyon starred with 5-60, including taking four wickets in the morning session.
