What a start to the second session! Josh Hazlewood strikes on the very first ball, dismissing Devdutt Padikkal for 25. It was a good-length delivery angled in around off, which straightened just enough to find the outside edge as Padikkal tried to defend. Steve Smith took a sharp low catch to his left at second slip. India loses their second wicket as star batter Virat Kohli steps in to take charge.
