    What's the story

    Travis Head scored a phenomenal 140 in the ongoing second Test match against India at the Adelaide Oval.

    This was his eighth Test hundred, which witnessed a combination of brute force and finesse.

    His innings was characterized by powerful strokes and immaculate timing that overpowered the Indian bowling attack.

    Along with Marnus Labuschagne, Head gave much-needed solidity to Australia's innings on day two of the match.

    India's morning session brought a glimmer of hope as Jasprit Bumrah sent Nathan McSweeney and Steven Smith back, leaving Australia at 103/3.

    However, Head and Labuschagne(64) fought back with a 65-run partnership.

    The former, who was a bit watchful early on, found boundaries for fun after completing his fifty. Mohammed Siraj eventually ended his stay.

    Notably, India posted 180/10 after electing to bat first. Australia have already taken a 120-plus lead thanks to Labuschagne and Head.
