	<div>
		The Indian team would be hoping that Ajinkya Rahane and Srikar Bharat who remained at the crease at the end of the day&#39;s play, put on a show on the third day. Otherwise, it could be curtains early on for the second-time finalists who finished Day 2 at 151/5 with all their main batters, except Rahane back in the hut.&nbsp;</div>
	<br />
	<div>
		Australia were brilliant with the ball much like they were with the bat. All of their five bowlers picked a wicket each. Pat Cummins trapped Rohit Sharma in front of the stumps to begin the proceedings. It was continued by Scott Boland who crashed through the stumps of Shubman Gill who left an in-swinger, crossing his shoulders only to walk back in disbelief.&nbsp;</div>
	<br />
	<div>
		Cheteshwar Pujaara and Virat Kohli took the game till Tea. Pujara crossed his shoulders and left an in-swinger to find his stumps uprooted by Cameron Green while a bouncer from Mitchell Starc saw Kohli walking back after being caught in the slip by Steve Smith.</div>
	<br />
	<div>
		Rahane and Jadeja sowed seeds of hope in Indian fans as they put on 69 for the fifth wicket. Lyong though had other ideas as he struck in only his second over to get Jadeja caught by Smith at first slip.&nbsp;</div>
	<br />
	<div>
		Earlier in the day, Australia added 142 runs to their overnight score of 327/3. Smith hit his 31st ton while Travis Head top-scored with 163. For India, Mohammed Siraj picked four wickets and ended up with figures of 4/108.&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The World Test Championships Final between India and Australia is underway at the Kennington Oval in London. While Australia would start from their overnight score of 327/3 with an attempt to get as close to 500 as possible, India would look to get quick wickets and restrict the Aussies to as low a score as possible, below 450 at any cost.&nbsp;</div>
<div>

Welcome to the Business Standard’s coverage of WTC Final 2023, IND vs AUS, Day 2

WTC Final Day 2 summary: India in deep trouble, trail by 318 runs

<div>

Otherwise, it could be curtains early on for the second-time finalists who finished Day 2 at 151/5 with all their main batters, except Rahane back in the hut.&nbsp;</div>

Pat Cummins trapped Rohit Sharma in front of the stumps to begin the proceedings.

WTC Final Live Score: Lyon strikes, Jadeja gets caught in slip

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Nathan Lyon has struck in only the second over of his spell, once again reminding why Ashwin was the perfect fit for this wicket. He gave the ball some flight and Jadeja went for the drive on the ball which was bowled outside off from round the wicket.&nbsp; He nicked it and Steve Smith at first slip made no mistake at all.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>India Live Score on Day 2- 142/5 in 35 overs</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

Edge and falls short of the third slip, Jadeja in no mood to relent

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Jadeja is in no mood to relent and having hit Starc already for a four and two, he went for the shot again and this time around edged the ball past a diving third slip for a four to get 11 runs from the over with two balls yet to come.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	And two more come off the last ball to make it an 11-run-over. With just 15 overs left, Jadeja looks like to guy that will go after the Australian bowling.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>India Live Score on Day 2- 141/4 in 34 overs</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Ajinkya Rahane has crossed the fifty-run mark and it is now 62 runs strong. They look like the only hope remaining for and Indian side that has so far had a dismal outing in this game.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>India Live Score on Day 2- 135/4 in 33.3 overs</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>

	Ravindra Jadeja knows that counterattack is the best ply and he and Ajinkya Rahane are doing just that. Jadeja has hit Starc for two boundaries in the over and India are now inching close to the 100-run mark.&nbsp;</div>

Kohli off the mark on a ball he wanted to leave

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Virat Kohli is off the mark, but not in the fashion he would have liked to. The ball was pitched on middle and off and was coming into him. He decided to leave the ball and got an edge from the bottom of the blade which went for a four behind the stumps.&nbsp;</div>

	The Australian team has reached the minimum target that they would have wanted when they were put to bat first by India, The target of 400 us was achieved and they still have four more wickets in hand. Ideally, they would want to reach 500 and put maximum pressure on the Indian team.&nbsp;</div>

	Mitchell Starc is off the mark eventually after playing 12 balls. Now, he and Carey would look to go all-out attack and try and at least 60-70 more runs to the total to try and get past 450 eventually. That could be considered a winning total.</div>

India vs Australia Live Score: Smith departs, Thakur gets first ball wicket

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Shardul Thakur was introduced into the attack and on the very first ball he managed to get rid of the dangerous Steve Smith. He hanged the ball outside off, Smith went for an exaggerated drive while being too far from the length of the ball. His body and the bat had almost a half feet gap, and as a result, he could only manage to drag the ball back on the stumps. Australia are now six down.&nbsp;</div>
