Goodnight!
Thanks for joining Wide World of Sports LIVE coverage of day two of the second Test between Australia and India at Adelaide Oval.
India trail Australia by 29 runs with five wickets in hand.
It was Travis Head's afternoon, but we can't help but wonder how much his exchange with Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj will impact the rest of this Test, let alone series!
We'll see you tomorrow for even more explosive action, all here on Wide World of Sports!
Head unpacks dirty send off
Travis Head has opened up on what transpired with Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj when he was dismissed for 140.
"I said 'well bowled', but he thought otherwise when he pointed me to the sheds," HEad said post match on Fox.
"He got a little bite back from me.
"Slightly disappointed with the way that transpired.
"If that's how they want to represent themselves, then so be it."
Interesting stuff. No doubt a fuel for both sides on day three!
STUMPS
That's stumps on day twp in Adelaide!
India trail by 29 runs, with five wickets down.
The final ball of the day ends in a four for Reddy and India, as he slogs it across his body.
India 5-128 after 24 overs tonight.
14 wickets across today, as well as a magnificent Travis Head century, we have seen it all on day two!

A late call falls short
Not to be, Alex Carey.
An attempted stumping doesn't fly, as Reddy keeps that foot firmly grounded!
Late picture-perfect shot
A beautiful late strike off the last ball of the 23rd over from Reddy goes for four.
India 5-117, with Reddy (9 off 10) and Pant (23 off 23) at the crease.
Just five minutes of play remain tonight, India trail by 40 runs.
Just ACE!
PAT CUMMINS YOU STAR!
An extraordinary fight back continues in this second Test!
He has bowled Rohit Sharma (6 off 15), after a failed defnsive stroke playing the wrong line.
A clean bowl from the Aussie skipper!
India 5-105.
Cummins has taken Sharma 5-115 in their Test match history.
"Every move he makes, he's got an ace in his hand. Just too good for the Indian captain," Adam Gilchrist said on Fox.
Attendance
51,642 attended day two of the second Test in Adelaide.
It's the third best ever crowd for a Test at Adelaide Oval.
India 4-100, trailing by 57 runs.
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!
OH MY GOODNESS ME. NO, NO NO!
A ripping Mitchell Starc delivery hands Rohit Sharm an LBW dismissal. But you will not believe this.
It's a NO BALL.
Starc is devastated. Sharma is breathing a sigh of relief. Every ball counts.
And get this, the replay showed that the ball hit his bat first. He would have been saved anyway!
India 4-88. Tense!
Starc makes the unplayable come true!
WOWEE!
Mitchell Starc, we missed you!
Middle stump, he has RIPPED through Shubman Gill with a cracking in swinger. That was absolutely UNPLAYABLE!
Gill exits with 28 off 30.
India 4-86, trailing by 71 runs.
"He wasn't expecting that," Mark Waugh said on Fox.
And the very next ball, Rohit Sharma cops a Starc ball that ricochets right into his face grill.

PANT down!
WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!
Rishabh Pant is entertaining if anything!
A reverse hook shot goes over the slips and takes a bounce to hand Pant four.
But he was NOT expecting that Scott Boland bouncer, and he has fully swung himself around and landed on his back!
