Snapshot for day 2 of the first Test

A snapshot of day two of the first cricket Test between Australia and India in Pune.

AUSTRALIA V INDIA, 1ST TEST AT A GLANCE

STATE OF PLAY - Australia 4-143 in second innings at stumps on day two, holding 298-run lead

MAN OF DAY - Steve O'Keefe. Claimed six wickets at the cost of five runs in a chaotic 38 minutes that could shape not only the game but the four-Test series.

KEY STAT - India lost 7-11 during O'Keefe's post-lunch burst. They have never suffered a worse seven-wicket collapse in Test cricket.

KEY MOMENT - Virat Kohli flashed as look of rage after opposing skipper Steve Smith was dropped for the third time in his innings. The skipper was 59 not out at stumps, well placed to build an imposing lead on the dry deck.

BEST QUOTE - "I've got a good coach, who tapped me on the head between sessions. He's not afraid to tell it to you straight and tell it to your face, which is excellent," O'KEEFE explains how he bounced back after struggling in the morning session.
