Highlights | India vs Australia, Dharamsala Test: Stumps on Day 2; Lyon 'attack' scares Indian batting order; India still 52 run behind

Australian spinner stunned and scared the Indian batting order with his spin and variations as hosts are struggling at 248/6 after the end of Day 2's play in the final Test match between India and Australia in Dharamsala. 

Taking 4 crucial wickets, Lyon emerged as the pick of the bowlers and mostly troubled the Indian middle order. The conditions at Dharamsala's HPCA stadium which is hosting its maiden Test match also favoured the visitors as pitch played a varied nature throughout the day.

Starting from last day's play, India started their innings with much caution as both the openers played sensibly to chase down Australia's 300 run total in the first innings. Soon India lost Vijay but KL Rahul continued his splendid run in the series and scored another half-century in the Border- Gavaskar Trophy.

Pujara and Rahul tried to resist the Aussie attack in the early morning's play, but as soon as Nathan Lyon came into the attack, he completely dismantled the Indian batting attack and took 2 quick wickets to remove Pujara and Nair.

By the end of the day, Jadeja tried to compensate with fireworks as he smashed 2 big sixes. At the stumps, India settled to score 248 for the loss of six wickets to end Day 2.

#Rahane equal to the task, pulls the seamer for a boundary

#Cummins try to pepper Rahane with short pitch stuff

#The Indian skipper Ajinkya Rahane comes out to bat. Big opportunity to showcase his class with the willow while doning the captaincy hat

#Just when the Indians were looking good at the crease, Pat Cummins has struck for the Aussies by getting Rahul for 60

#Hosts put 100 on the board

#Pujara and Rahul have looked in command at the crease.They have applied themselves in testing conditions aiding the seam bowlers.

# O'Keefe to Rahul, SIX, cracking shot, Rahul doesn't want O'Keefe to settle,

# Lyon to Pujara, no run, fraction shorter from Lyon, but gets plenty of bounce. Pujara gets behind the ball and pushes it back at the bowler. That will be lunch on Day 2

Imagining this Australian team if Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Pattinson were all fit!

# Pujara and Rahul needs to build a big partnership to take India on driving seat

#oops! Missed chance. Fast outside edge over first slip would have been a super-catch if Renshaw would have caught that. Rahul survives.

# Cheteshwar Pujara, right handed batsman, comes out in the middle. He had a wonderful series and last match in Ranchi. 

# OUT! Vijay departs. An out swinging delivery from Hazlewood provides early breakthrough to Aussies. Vijay 11(36)

# After 9 over, India are 21/0 with Vijay and Rahul playing positively.  

# Four! Picture perfect shot from Vijay. Timed it towards cover and timing was so fine that the ball races away for a boundary. 

# Lyon to Rahul: Four! Positive start against the  offie 

# Pacy! Pat Cummins finishes with a 146kph delivery. Full outside off, Rahul left it

# Hazlewood to Vijay, no run, how has that missed off and the outside edge? Only the ball knows. Cracking delivery.

# Pat Cummins to Vijay, 1 run, First runs for the hosts

# Vijay will face his first ball of the game bowled by Cummins

Having lost the toss the bowlers have done really well. Now up to the batsmen to use the conditions
