What's the story

Australia have started intense training at the Adelaide Oval ahead of the 2nd Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting December 6.

Star players Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne were spotted honing their batting skills in the nets during the session.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma's team arrived from Canberra, where they played a warm-up game, and opted to rest before commencing their pre-game routines with a night session under lights.

Upcoming match

India to face Australia in pink ball Test

Team India is gearing up for the 2nd Test against Australia in Adelaide, which will be a pink-ball affair. This comes after India's stunning 295-run victory in the Perth Test.

Notably, Australia have faced India only once in Day/Night Tests. The Aussies won the pink-ball fixture held in Adelaide in 2020.

Australia scripted history after bowling India out for 36 in the second innings. They won the match by eight wickets.
