Steve Smith take Australia to 454/7 at Lunch

IND vs AUS 4th Test LIVE Score, Day 2: It was a poor start for Team India, as Australia went from 311/6 overnight, to 384/6, largely due to the efforts of Steve Smith, who brought up his 34th Test ton. But soon after that, Nitish Reddy took a stunning catch to dismiss Pat Cummins. But that wasn’t enough as Smith took AUS to 454/7 at lunch.

The Boxing Day Test is here. Christmas is gone, and there will be no exchange of gifts between the two sides with the India vs Australia Test series on the line. A lot was said on the first day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Virat Kohli took the fight to debutant Sam Konstas, figuratively and literally. After all that transpired, all eyes will be on how he performs. The Australian media are after him, and that might motivate him to do something special.

Just talking about the day, Australia ended up being the happier side. They did go from 237/2 to 299/6, but with runs on board and a bowling line-up that’s on point, they’ll be happy thinking about what they can do to underconfident Indian batters on the second day.
