Australia has taken control of the ongoing Test series against India, thanks to a stellar performance from Travis Head and Steve Smith. The duo put up a 241-run partnership, with Head scoring 152 and Smith contributing 101. The Australian team declared their innings at 405-7, leaving India with a virtually impossible task of winning the match. India's hopes now rest on securing a draw, but the visitors will have to bat for a long time to achieve this feat. Bumrah's 5-72 was the only bright spot for India, but it was not enough to stem the Australian tide. The series is now poised at 1-1, with Australia looking to go 2-1 up in the five-Test series. The other Australian batsmen also chipped in with useful contributions, with Alex Carey scoring 45 and Mitchell Starc contributing 7. The match is expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams looking to outdo each other. However, Australia's strong performance in the first innings has given them a significant advantage, and they will look to capitalize on this in the second innings.
