IND VS AUS - 2nd ODI, Australia tour of India, 2017

That's all from here. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. I've been Sagar Chawla, and on behalf of Abhishek Chaudhary, Pradeep, Ramakrishnan, Venky and Krishna, it's a goodbye.

It was far-fetched to imagine that we'd be getting a full game, with the weather being like it was in the last few days. But that's exactly what we got. As much as Australia struggled with the heat in the afternoon, their struggles with the bat will worry them a lot more. As for India, aren't they looking more and more impressive with each passing game, especially in the bowling department! Australia will have a tough time reversing this scoreline.

Kohli, winning captain and Man of the Match: We didn't feel like we had enough on the board at the break. But we knew if we had a good start we have a good chance of defending it. We knew if we don't take wickets it would be difficult. To be honest, the wicket wasn't easy to bat on throughout the day. Bhuvi's spell became even more important because we knew the wrist-spinners would do damage in the middle. The deliveries he got the batsmen out with were unplayable. You can count on Bhuvi for getting the breakthroughs. Two young spinners bowling with a lot of heart, speaks volumes about their characters. Really augurs well for us how the team is shaping up. I always try to create that kind of motivation for myself. Sometimes things don't come off for you but I try and stay in the same zone. It wasn't easy to bat, plus the bowling attack was quality as well. Came off today, so it looked nice. Didn't come off in Chennai, so it didn't look nice.

Smith: We were pretty happy with 250, thought we pulled things back pretty well. Did a really good job there. Batters though made poor decisions, and you can't do that against a quality team like India. Stoinis was good at the end there, just needed someone to bat with. One of the top four needs to go on and make a hundred, just making poor decisions under pressure. To reduce India to 250 on that was pretty good. Need to get those partnerships; if we do that then we should chase these totals down comfortably. They've got all bases covered, don't they?

Smith fought with a valiant half-century, but couldn't kick on. The batting of Stoinis was probably the biggest positive, as he got more and more fluent against spin and pace as his innings went on. But it was too big a task for him to pull it off, especially with no support at the other end.

Kuldeep: Not really (could never dream it). Initially I was struggling to bowl in a particular area. It's a game of cricket, everything happens. Last match, where I was hit for three sixes in an over, was a learning experience. Asked Mahi bhai what I should bowl, he said 'tujhe jaisa lagta hai wo daal (bowl what you want)'. This is special for me, changed the game for us. Really proud moment.

21:35 Local Time, 16:05 GMT, 21:35 IST: India go 2-0 up in the series. Their bowlers have done a fantastic job yet again to convincingly defend a total which was around par, you would imagine. This bowling group is functioning so brilliantly in tandem, with wicket-taking options from top to bottom. Bhuvneshwar Kumar set the tone with a masterclass of swing and seam bowling at the start, swinging circles around the Aussie batsmen and dismissing both openers cheaply. Smith and Head revived the innings for a while, but that was before the wrist-spinners took over again. Arguably, Chahal was the more impressive one with impeccable control over his flight, and he absolutely shackled the middle-order. But then Kuldeep just came back in and claimed a hat-trick for himself. Just shows the luxuries Virat Kohli possesses right now.

Bhuvneshwar to Kane Richardson, out Lbw!! It takes just one ball for Bhuvi to seal it, although Richardson will go for the review. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. Back of length, skidded on past the bat with Richardson playing across the line, and pinned him in front of middle. Ball-tracking shows it to be smashing top of leg. Kane Richardson lbw b Bhuvneshwar 0(7)

Bhuvneshwar to Kane Richardson, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar [6.0-2-9-2] is back into the attack

It takes just one ball for Bhuvi to seal it, although Richardson will go for the review. Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Bumrah to Stoinis, no run, wanted the single desperately but he nudges the ball too close to Bumrah to go for the run. Richardson exposed now

Bumrah to Stoinis, no run, good length ball just outside off, defended towards point

Bumrah to Stoinis, no run, walks across again and this time flicks it along the ground to fine leg

Bumrah to Stoinis, SIX, walks across to the off-side and flicks the full toss into the stands. Took the risk by exposing his stumps, and it paid off this time. Beautifully timed over long leg

Bumrah to Stoinis, no run, back of a length around off, chopped to backward point

Bumrah to Stoinis, no run, full ball slanted in on middle and leg, Stoinis turns it into the mid-wicket region. Doesn't take the single

Jasprit Bumrah [6.0-1-33-0] is back into the attack
