Border-Gavaskar: Head hammers 140 as Australia tighten grip on India

Al Jazeera  

Australia dominate the second day of the second Test against India in Adelaide as the hosts look to level the series. Australia rode Travis Head’s blistering 140 to post 337 before reducing India to 128-5 on Saturday to stay on course for a series-levelling victory in the day-night second Test. Marnus Labuschagne kept his head down and collected runs without courting risks en route to only his second half-century in his last 11 test innings. Head hammers India attack Mitchell Marsh fell caught behind to Ashwin even though replays showed no bat-ball contact and the batter did not challenge the decision. “When they’ve got the quality of quicks that they’ve got, I guess you’ve got to target something,” Head said, explaining why he targeted Ashwin, India’s lone spinner.
