Perth Test: Australia were bundled out for 326 runs in their first innings on day 2 of second Test match being played here at Perth Optus Stadium on Saturday.Australia resumed their innings from 277/6 and could only score 49 more runs to their overnight total.

Umesh Yadav gave India its first breakthrough of the second day. Pat Cummins (19) was bowled by a terrific delivery by Umesh Yadav. In the very next over, Jasprit Bumrah removed overnight batsman Tim Paine for 38 off 89 balls. The next 2 batsmen were also walking for single digit scores. Ishant Sharma took two consecutive wickets in 109th over.

India, on the other hand, starting their innings have lost Murali Vijay early on courtesy a Starc genius. It is noticeable that India is playing without the services of Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin which makes the lower order look a little weaker than the Australian counterpart.
