Rahane completed his 12th Test century, a knock he’ll remember for some time to come. He has so far struck 12 fours and faced 200 deliveries to put India in the lead. (AFP Photo)
India finished the day at 277/5 and a lead of 82 runs with the tourists dominating the second day’s play in Melbourne.
Australia started the day well before it slipped out of their hands, literally. They dropped as many as four catches – twice of Rahane – making it a total of five dropped catches so far in the Test. (AFP Photo)
