Australia v India second Test: Date, venue, history, odds & more

The first match of the series between Australia and India did not disappoint and the two teams next head to the Adelaide Oval for a day-night Test which starts on the afternoon of Friday December 6th.

The tourists enjoyed a 285-run victory in the first Test in Perth and are set to be buoyed by the returns of captain Rohit Sharma and the fit-again Shubman Gill to bolster their already formidable batting line-up.

The Baggy Greens, meanwhile, have lost the services of pace ace Josh Hazlewood to a side strain, with Scott Boland likely to deputise, although Sean Abbott and Brendan Doggett have been called up as cover.
