A run out spoils India’s fightback script on Day 2 of Boxing Day Test

Hindustan Times  

Melbourne: Till 5:34pm in Melbourne, India had got their fightback right. With the series on the line, the response from Rohit Sharma’s team was important and even though the skipper failed to get going, Yashasvi Jaiswal — in the company of KL Rahul initially and then Virat Kohli — had managed to make run scoring look easy. As he walked off, Jaiswal gestured at Kohli as if to say, ‘My call,’ while Kohli seemed to say the run was a bad idea. The more dangerous presence for India was always Smith and he showed that he was back to his best with a brilliant 140 — his 34th Test ton. Things went haywire after that but with Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar still to come, India will hope to make the most of the pretty decent batting conditions.
