Team India had a lucky strike against hosts Australia on Day 2 of the second Test in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Adelaide on Saturday as Aussie all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was asked to walk back to the hut following an incorrect decision from umpire Richard Illingworth.

That’s as clear as it gets, pad first to Mitch Marsh. Even David Warner and Harsha Bhogle agree. The third umpire should have reviewed it from more angles, not just the side-on view.Here’s the front-on slow zoom-in view – pic.twitter.com/ZY9B6bXb8Y

The 33-year-old opted against going for a review of the decision and walked back to the hut without seeking counsel from partner at the crease, Travis Head.
The ball picked up a touch off the pad and zoomed outside the outside edge of the willow, but was unfortunately given out after Rishabh Pant collected the ball.
Team India, who won the toss and opted to bat in first were bundled out for a score of 180 run on the opening day at the Adelaide, before Australia took crease to chomp down on the Indian score.
Australia got past India’s tally on Saturday thanks to knocks from Marnus Labuschange, Nathan McSweeney and an incredible innings from Head.
McSweeney and Labuschange led the charge at the top of the order with their contributions of 39 runs and 64 runs respectively, before Head took over to steer Australia past the 300-run mark with his blistering 140-run stand.
India managed to wrap up the Aussie innings for 337 runs as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami registered a four-wicket haul each. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ashwin picked up the other two wickets between them as India trail the hosts by 157 runs ahead of walking in to take the crease for their second innings.
