IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: OUT

OUT!!! WHAT A BLOW FOR INDIA!!!!! Mitchell Starc strikes on the very first ball of the match and removes Yashasvi Jaiswal for duck. Starc hits directly onto the pads of Jaiswal as the on-field umpire straightaway signals LBW out. Jaiswal did not opt for a DRS review and goes back to the dugout. The Adelaide crowd goes crazy as there is an utter silence in the Indian camp. First wicket gone for India. 

IND 0/1 (0.1 overs)

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: Here's what Pat Cummins said at the toss

"Yeah that's right (when asked if he would have batted first), but day one, pink ball, you never know, there might be a bit of nip for us. It's always good to have a fresh start. It's a venue where we really love playing. Pink ball can be a little bit different than the red ball. Everyone can look back at the success that we've had in past games, really excited. We weren't at our best last week, it's been a really good preparation, the boys are itching to get out there. Maybe little more sing, it's pretty muggy today. Just one change. Josh Hazlewood misses, Scott Boland comes in."

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: Here's what Rohit Sharma said at the toss

We are going to bat first. Looks a good pitch, looks a bit dry at the moment, enough grass covering as well. There will be something in it for everyone. I have been here for two weeks now. Ready to go now. The mood is good, pretty vibrant. What the boys did in Perth was superb. It's a long series, we'll try and do most things right. The fast bowlers are happy (with the break). We want to carry from where we left. We have made 3 changes. I am back, Gill is back. Ashwin is back. I am batting in the middle order.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: India high on confidence

Playing Australia in Australia tends to bring the best out of the visiting Indian team which defied all expectations to boss the series-opener in Perth, handing Australia their first loss at the Optus stadium. In their last trip Down Under, India made a comeback for the ages following the 36 all out debacle at the Adelaide Oval but the visitors are placed much better this time around, following the resounding result in the opening Test.

IND vs AUS, 2nd Test Day 1 Live: Rohit to bat at no 5?

Rohit Sharma, returning to the side from a brief paternity break, has taken the tough call of pushing himself down the order to accommodate K L Rahul at the top alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both Rahul and Jaiswal excelled in Perth and had a big part in India's biggest overseas win. Shubman Gill has recovered from a thumb injury and will be back in the side alongside Rohit.

Pink-Ball Test Live: India Return To 36-All Out Venue

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Day 1 of the second Test between India and Australia. The ghosts of Team India's 36 all-out show at Adelaide in 2020 still haunt the players but the team has returned to Adelaide after a morale-boosting victory against Australia in Perth. The hosts, however, still remain unbeaten in day-night Tests at this venue. Can India pull off another first?
