The Indians who won the first Test, were put under heavy pressure after Australia made 337 in the first innings after they were bowled out for 180.

Australian batter Travis Head smashed the Indian bowlers making 140 in 141 balls with 17 fours and four sixes that knocked back the bowlers as the home team went on to take a 157 runs lead on the first innings.

Head batted with authority in front of his home crowd after Australia lost Nathan McSweeney and Steven Smith within the space of 13 balls.

Head played in the best way he is noted for by smashing the bowlers to repair the Australia innings in a most aggressive approach after a sedate start.

But there was nothing to deter him once he had a measure of the bowling and played his shots with ease giving Australia the freedom to dictate matters out in the middle.

Scores:

India 180 (Mitchell Starc 6 for 48) and 128 for 5

Australia 337 (Travis Head 140, Marnus Labuschagne 64, Jasprit Bumrah 4 for 61, Mohammad Siraj 4 for 98)
