Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels preparing a green track for the second Test could backfire on Australia against a pace heavy India.

"Certainly from seeing the Indian attack in England and at the Adelaide Oval, Bumrah (Jasprit), Shami (Mohammad) and Sharma (Ishant) will be going to bed tonight thinking thank you," Vaughan told Foxsports on the eve of the Test.

"The actual three quicks of India out bowled the three quicks of Australia. They were outstanding. It's a big big risk that Australia are taking."
"They clearly need a pitch that they feel they can get at the Indian batsmen but I just look to the game at Adelaide Oval, it wasn't the pitch, it wasn't anything to do with the conditions. It was just that India produced more discipline for longer periods."
"Unfortunately for Australia one of their quicks didn't quite get the radar right and I would say that went a long way to India just nipping over the line in that Test match."
