India have finally bowled Australia out as they had to bowl nearly 123 overs to break the hosts' resistance. However, Pat Cummins and co. still have a hefty total of 474 on the board, headlined by half-centuries from the top three and a daddy hundred from Steve Smith, who compiled his second hundred of the series. Jasprit Bumrah (4/99) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/75) shared seven wickets between them.

Steve Smith (139*) and Pat Cummins (49) asserted their dominance in the first session on day two of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), putting India massively on the back foot. Cummins and Smith combined to stitch a 100-run stand as they got to lunch at 454/7. Ravindra Jadeja was the only wicket-taker in the first session as Australia added 143 runs.

After a gripping day one of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), India and Australia will step into the cauldron on day two aiming to take control of the proceedings. Day one ebbed and flowed as Australia ended up with their noses in front as their top four scored fifties.

With Steve Smith looking solid on 68* and the hosts' score above 300, Pat Cummins and co. can still post a formidable score on the board. However, they will be wary, given only four more wickets are left in the shed and giving them away quickly could put India in control. Hence, Smith will be key to help the tourists to prevent them from taking total control.
