That's all we have for you from today's cricketing action. Tomorrow promises to be yet another exciting day, and it will be interesting to see if Australia can get the early breakthrough, by potentially removing skipper Rohit early. We will be back with LIVE coverage tomorrow, so until then, it's goodbye!
17:05 (IST)
India 21/0 after 9 overs
Rohit Sharma survives an early scare just before stumps on Day 1 of the second Test. He seems to have been caught at forward short leg off Nathan Lyon's bowling, but India review this decision. And it's a good review from the hosts, as UltraEdge shows no bat involved, and it's gone straight off the pad.
So, India finish Day 1 at 21/0, with all 10 wickets intact. They are behind Australia by 242 runs.
16:47 (IST)
India 13/0 after 6 overs
Pat Cummins continues. He delivers a maiden over, the first maiden of the innings. Kuhnemann continues from the other end, and that's another maiden over.
16:28 (IST)
India 5/0 after 1 over
Right. Time for India's first innings reply. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, the India openers, walk out to the middle, and so do the Australian team. Skipper Pat Cummins brings himself into the attack. So, it's captain to captain first up, with Rohit facing him. Rohit is off the mark with a boundary, driving square behind point for the four. Five off the first over.
16:15 (IST)
Australia 263 all out after 78.4 overs
Australia have been bundled out for 263 just less than two overs before the second new ball was due to be taken. Mohammed Shami cleans up debutant Matthew Kuhnemann for six, as the Indian pacer finishes with four wickets.
16:10 (IST)
Australia 262/9 after 78 overs
Jadeja continues. Jadeja seems to have dismissed Handscomb courtesy a catch by Ashwin, but it's been declared a no-ball!. It's a no-ball by the narrowest of margins. The Australian batters had already started walking, but a no-ball means the batters are right back at the crease, and Jadeja has to rebowl.
16:04 (IST)
After 77 overs, Australia 256/9
Australia keep the scoreboard ticking despite being nine down and losing Nathan Lyon. Four runs from the over.

15:20 (IST)
OUT! Cummins has been given LBW off Jadeja's bowling, but Australia opt for the review. However, it's an easy decision for the third umpire. UltraEdge shows no bat involved, and ball-tracking shows it's hitting middle. Another Aussie partnership broken. Cummins lbw b Jadeja 33
15:17 (IST)
Australia 226/6 after 67 overs
Axar Patel continues. Cummins collects three runs as Cheteshwar Pujara, playing his 100th Test, runs after the ball to save it, and deny the Aussies a boundary. Cummins had whipped that through square leg, aiming to find the boundary, but Pujara had other plans. Five runs off the over.
15:12 (IST)
Australia 221/6 after 66 overs
Peter Handscomb scores a fine half-century, coming off 110 balls. He's taken his time, not taking too much risks, it's been a well-scripted knock so far.

14:17 (IST)
Australia 199/6 after 56 overs
Peter Handscomb (36*) and Pat Cummins (23*) remain unbeaten as Australia head into tea break, having lost three wickets in the second session. Not the ideal day for Australia so far, barring an 81 from Khawaja, but it's been neck-to-neck contest so far. We'll be back shortly for the third and final session of the day.
14:06 (IST)
Australia 189/6 after 54 overs
Siraj comes into attack for his ninth over. No wicket for him so far, but it's been a disciplined bowling performance from him so far. Just the single off the over.
14:01 (IST)
Australia 188/6 after 53 overs
R Ashwin continues, and he is punished by Australia skipper Pat Cummins for a six. Cummins comes up with the slog sweep and launches this one towards deep midwicket fence. Australia will be looking to get to that 200-run mark, and even possibly 250. An appeal by the hosts for LBW against Cummins, but it's given nit out. India opt for the review, but it remains not out as there was a huge inside edge off the bat.

Australia 182/6 after 52 overs
Jadeja back into the attack. Disciplined bowling from Jadeja, just a couple of runs off the over.

13:35 (IST)
OUT! A stunning one-handed catch from KL Rahul to remove Usman Khawaja for 81. Ravindra Jadeja with the wicket, his 250th Test wicket, and what a a way to get it, by removing the set batter in Khawaja.

13:03 (IST)
Australia 144/4 after 39 overs
Jadeja to bowl the 39th over of the Australian innings. Not the best of starts for him in the over, as Khawaja hits him for two consecutive fours at the start of the over. Khawaja makes it 12 runs from the over for Australia, getting four byes as Jadeja goes down leg. Productive over for Australia.
12:52 (IST)

12:40 (IST)
Australia 109/4 after 32 overs

Golden words from the legendary Sunil Gavaskar as he felicitates @cheteshwar1 on his landmark 100th Test ππ»ππ»#TeamIndia | #INDvAUS | @mastercardindia pic.twitter.com/AqVs6JLO2n
Preview: Rohit Sharma-led India take on visitors Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi as the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy gets underway on Friday.
India scripted a comfortable innings victory in Nagpur in the first Test of the series last week, and Australia will hope to script some sort of fightback in the national capital to level the series 1-1.
Indian spinners dominated the proceedings in Nagpur, with R Ashwin scalping eight wickets while Ravindra Jadeja picked seven wickets on his return to international cricket from injury.
India had gained a lead of 223 runs after posting 400 in reply to Australia’s first innings total of 177, but the Aussies’ batting was far from impressive as they were bundled out for 91, thereby India winning by an innings and 132 runs.
Shreyas Iyer, who had missed out the ODI series against New Zealand due to a back injury, has been declared fit, and joined the Team India squad in Delhi ahead of the second Test.
He, however, is unlikely to be named in the play in the second Test.
Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara is set to play his 100th Test come Friday, with the 35-year-old set to become the 13th Indian to achieve the feat, the latest before him being Virat Kohli against Sri Lanka in March 2022.
Pujara has a commendable record against Australia, having scored 1900 runs from 21 Tests at an average of 52.77.
Coming back to the first Test, debutant Todd Murphy was the pick of Australian bowlers, scalping seven wickets, while skipper Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon picked two and one wicket each. Australia will hope for a much disciplined effort from their bowling, especially after the hosts managed to post 400 from being 229/6 at one stage in the first Test.
Teams:
India: Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, KS Bharat (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Suryakumar Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Ishan Kishan (wk).
Australia: Pat Cummins (captain), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Alex Carey (wk), Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscombe, Nathan Lyon, Ashton Agar, Scott Boland, Lance Morris, Mitchell Swepson, Todd Murphy, Josh Hazlewood (unavailable), Cameron Green (unavailable), Mitchell Starc (from 2nd Test).
