The second day of the opening Test at Adelaide Oval witnessed a captivating clash between Australia and the West Indies. The day's play unfolded with Australia in control, and it ended with them firmly holding their grip on the match.

Australia commenced the day on a positive note, with Travis Head's stellar century being the highlight. His impressive innings of 119 runs off 134 balls with 12 fours and three sixes, propelled Australia to a commanding position. Despite a valiant effort from West Indies debutant Shamar Joseph, who claimed a five-wicket haul, Australia managed to post a total of 283. Notable contributions also came from Kemar Roach and Justin Greaves, who secured two wickets each.

As the West Indies took to the crease for their second innings, the struggles with the bat persisted. They lost six wickets for a mere 73 runs by the close of day two. The lack of application in shot selection haunted the West Indies, and Josh Hazlewood capitalized on the conditions, claiming the first four wickets.

By the end of day two, Australia found themselves in a dominant position, thanks to their strong showing with the bat and Hazlewood's impressive bowling display. The West Indies, trailing by 22 runs with just four wickets remaining, face an uphill battle to stay in the game.

Here's how fans reacted to Day 2 of ongoing AUS versus WIN Test:
