India slumped to 164/5 on Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test against Australia, trailing by 310 runs. A promising partnership of 102 runs between Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 82, and Virat Kohli, who added 36, was disrupted by a disastrous mix-up that led to Jaiswal's run-out. Shortly after, Scott Boland dismissed Kohli and nightwatchman Akash Deep for a duck. Earlier, India lost in-form KL Rahul just before tea, leaving them at 51/2. Rohit Sharma's return to open was disappointing as he managed only 3 runs. Australia had set a formidable first-innings total of 474.
