Australia vs India Second Test 2017: Day Two live cricket scores from Bangalore

Australia get to the close of play at 6-237 with a lead of 48.

A gripping and at-times spiteful day's play, but half-centuries to Shaun Marsh and Matt Renshaw have helped the tourists consolidate their position despite three wickets from Ravindra Jadeja.

Wade is on 25, and Starc 14.

Fifty-100 more runs tomorrow will have Australia in the box seat to retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy with two days to play.

That's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow, but for now check out Andrew Wu's report from Bangalore.

Wade edges Ashwin but it just falls away from first slip. India still probing late in the day.

Kohli wasn't happy with Jadeja's attempt to catch that shot from Starc, but the fieldsman seems to blaming the sun.

Starc making the most of his life, racing his way to 11. He's not wasting any time, hitting in the air close to extra cover.

Part-timer Nair into the attack, some late spin variation inside the final 20 minutes of the day.

New batsman Starc edges one from Yadav but Saha can't hang on as he dives away to his left!

Umesh at last gets reward for his effort as Marsh scoops it straight to Nair at short mid-wicket. Gone for 66 and India are hanging in there. Australia 6-220.

The runs beginning to come a bit quicker now. A mis-field from Rahane results in a single. This has been a solid session for Australia.

Another LBW appeal after he strikes Marsh on the pad, but it's turned down and no reviews left.

Frustrating day for India's quicks, both of whom have bowled pretty well.

Very ambitious review from India, who have now run out after Wade edges one off his pad and shoulder to first slip. Kohli rolls the dice, but loses.

Aus 5-200.

Second new ball taken now.

It wasn't always pretty but they've got there with five wickets still in hand. Marsh nurdles one through to the leg side to bring Australia to 5-190.

Shouldn't have got there after gloving one from Yadav, only for India not to review an incorrect decision, but still an important knock. Gets there from 162 balls. Australia just two runs away from India's score.

Marsh living dangerously, surviving another LBW shout, this time from Ashwin. He's closing in on his 50.

Marsh fortunate, surviving a plumb LBW ball from Ishant because of a no ball. Australia within 10 runs now.

Marsh survives on 44 after being given LBW by umpire Illingworth, Yadav the bowler. The decision is overturned on review after it pitched outside off stump. Aus 5-175

Marsh comes down the wicket and chips one from Jadeja over mid-on for a boundary, before Wade is fortunate to get an edge away for four. Crucial runs for the tourists.

About to get back in action after tea. Shaun Marsh and Matthew Wade at the crease with Australia still 26 runs in arrears.

Mitch Marsh falls off the last ball of the session, LBW to Ishant for a duck. Falling over as he tends to do early in his innings he is the victim of a ball that keeps very low. Still it continues  Marsh;s run of low score.

Australia 5-163 at tea, with India hanging in the match by virtue of disciplined bowling. A day of attritional cricket and there's still a session to come.
