India vs Australia, 2nd Test

The Chepauk test match got underway this morning and the Aussie openers Hayden and Langer have put India on the back foot right way. The score is 123 for no loss after just 29 overs. This is not good for an Indian team hoping to comeback after the disastrous first test. Hayden didn't make a lot of runs in the first tests and he was due.

With the Aussies batting first, India has to get them out for within 350 to have a chance of winning. The Indian batting has been shaky for the last few months and they just can't let the Aussies make a huge score and put the pressure on them again. The Chennai pitch will apparently have a bit of bounce and Mcgrath and co. will definitely be licking their chops to have a bowl on this wicket. The series hangs in the balance for the Indians and they have to win this session and the next one too. They better have the Aussie 6 or 7 down for less than 320 at the end of the days play or this test could be over.
