India has taken a stranglehold on the first Test against Australia after a commanding performance on day two in Perth.

After wrapping up the Australian tail for 104, India took a 46-run lead into its second innings at Optus Stadium.

In the ensuing two sessions after lunch, India planted its foot firmly on Australia’s throat, making a mockery of the 17-wicket day one carnage to reach 0/172 at stumps.

After his first innings duck, Yashasvi Jaiswal will stride back to the crease on Sunday morning on 90 not out, with KL Rahul alongside him on 62.

The misfiring Aussie attack barely fired a shot all day and on the rare occasion it created a chance, the fielders blew their lines.

The Aussies are yet to lose a Test at Perth’s Optus Stadium, but defeat looks very much on the cards after Indian spearhead Jasprit Bumrah ripped through Australia’s top order.
