RP Singh picked up four wickets in the first innings and two in the second innings

If there was some confusion about who the winner was at the end of day 1, the Indian team ensured that there wasn’t any ambiguity at the end of day 2. The day belonged to the Indian bowlers. RP Singh was the chief havoc creator and ended with figures of 4 wickets for 68 runs.

The other three Indian bowlers – Irfan Pathan, Ishant Sharma and Anil Kumble – also played their part with each of them taking 2 wickets. It was also a special day for skipper Kumble as he took his 600th Test wicket. The Australians were bundled out for 212 runs in just 50 overs.

India began their second innings confidently and raced to 52 runs for the loss of one wicket in 11 overs, courtesy of some bold batting by Sehwag.
