Australia v India: second men’s cricket Test, day two – as it happened

Head century powers Australia into dominant position
India 128-5 in their second innings, still trailing by 29 runs

35th over: Australia 90-1 (McSweeney 39, Labuschagne 23) Jasprit Bumrah starts with a maiden, angled in at pace, pink ball darting off the surface like a cobra’s tongue. Good luck, lads.

34th over: Australia 90-1 (McSweeney 39, Labuschagne 23) Mohammed Siraj bustles in to Marnus. A couple of slips and a gully in place. Runs straight away! Marnus whips a ball from outside off through the leg side, doesn’t gave the legs for a boundary but three runs to start the day. Positive intent from the beleaguered batter. McSweeney defends the next four balls as Siraj lands it on a good length, a single off the final balls sees four runs PLUNDERED off the first over.
