India's promising position on Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne crumbled in a dramatic collapse. A 102-run stand between Yashasvi Jaiswal (82) and Virat Kohli (36) had steadied India at 153/2, but a disastrous 30 minutes saw them lose three wickets for 11 runs. Jaiswal’s run-out, followed by Kohli’s dismissal to Scott Boland, triggered the collapse. India ended the day at 164/5, trailing Australia by 310 runs. Rishabh Pant (6*) and Ravindra Jadeja (4*) are at the crease as India faces a daunting task to avoid the follow-on.
