What a day for Australia, one that they needed after the debacle that was Perth.

Join is from 2pm AEDT tomorrow as we bring you all the coverage from day two of the second Test in Adelaide.

Catch you all then. Thank you for following along!

Australia ends day one of the second Test well on top in Adelaide!

Mitchell Starc was excellent with the ball, picking up six wickets to limit India to just 180 after Australia lost the toss.

The Aussies began their innings in the testing conditions under lights, but have to be absolutely thrilled with their current position, just one wicket down and trailing by 94 runs.

Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne have knuckled down and looked really, really solid.

India's pacemen, who were excellent in Perth, couldn't quite find their radar.

Perhaps they got a little bit carried away under lights. But they'll need to be a lot better tomorrow or else they'll be facing a big first innings deficit.

Here's Stuart Clark's take on the final session of play on ABC Radio.

 "It's been a great effort and it really sets Australia up now. It puts them right in the box seat, getting to bat under normal conditions with a ball that's 33 overs old. So for Australia, if you wrote down a day — bowl India out, be one down, 80 on the board, only down by 94 — it'd be tick, tick, tick, tick. It feels like the game is still really close and really tense."

One over to go. Jasprit Bumrah with the ball in hand.

Bumrah on that customary off stump line and Marnus defends solidly.

Fuller from Ashwin, but too straight as McSweeney plays it on the front foot.

Ashwin loops this up and pitches it on off stump and it turns down the leg side. Encouraging stuff for the spinner.

Another play and miss from McSweeney as Ashwin spins one past his pads. There's a leg slip in as well.

Another one down the leg side to end the over and there's a little appeal but the sound is just the ball clipping McSweeney's pad.

Marnus is able to leave the final ball from Bumrah alone.

Straighter from Rana, a better length on off stump and Marnus defends on the front foot.

A short one from Rana at 140.7 kph and Marnus is way too late on an attempted pull. Need more of that I reckon.

Good ball from Bumrah on off stump, and Marnus defends it to mid on.

Bumrah gets too straight and Marnus is able to work it away through midwicket for a single.

Shorter from Bumrah, and McSweeney defends it comfortably. Not really a lot of lateral movement, even for the Indian champ.

Bumrah gets straighter and this time the ball meets the middle of McSweeney's bat.

Beaten! Another absolute ripper from Bumrah that beats McSweeney's outside edge.

BIG APPEAL! Harshit Rana nips one into McSweeney and wraps him on the pads.

Siraj straighter at Marnus' pads and he flicks it onto the on side. He's looking much more settled now.

Drama as Marnus pulls away! A bloke behind Siraj carrying about 100 beer cups stacked upon each other runs behind. Siraj fumes and pegs the ball at the stumps and gives Marnus some choice words too.

FOUR! A frustrated Siraj bangs it in short and Marnus uses the pace to guide it past Ashwin.

Nitish into the attack.

The first one starts wide outside off stump and swings away even further.

Another one wide outside off stump and Marnus leaves comfortably. Nitish operating at around 130 kph so far.

Three in a row well wide of off stump. He's not quite got his radar right so far, Nitish.

A little straighter from Rana, but still doesn't force the batter to play, as McSweeney is able to comfortably leave it alone.

After the lights briefly go out, Rana returns and his radar's completely gone with this one well wide outside off stump. Not great bowling.

Beaten! That's better from Rana! He bowls from wide of the crease and gets this one to come back in and beats McSweeney.

Eventually there's a Bronx cheer as they turn back on.

Another in-swinger from Rana, but it's too wide and McSweeney leaves it alone again.

Better line from Rana and McSweeney defends solidly to end the over.

One more hour to go then, and it's a crucial one.

Despite the loss of Usman Khawaja, it's been a good start for Australia here.

India's paceman haven't quite been on the mark so far. They've not made Australia's batters play enough balls just yet.

Nathan McSweeney hasn't looked entirely comfortable, but he's still out there, which is the main thing.

Marnus Labuschagne has faced 18 deliveries but is yet to score.

I reckon there might be an almighty cheer go up if and when he gets off the mark.

Let's see shall we?

Harshit Rana to continue.
