# Prasidh, Suthar take six wickets, India in control 2026-08-26T15:54:41+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Pacers Prasidh Krishna and left-arm spinner Manav Suthar shared six wickets to put India in a commanding position on day two of the second unofficial Test against Australia A in Melbourne. Australia A were bowled out for 223 in their first innings, conceding a lead of 86 runs. India had earlier posted 309 in their first innings. Prasidh claimed 3 for 42, while Suthar took 3 for 55. In their second innings, India reached 12 for no loss at stumps, extending the overall lead to 98 runs. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The performance builds pressure on the selectors ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where India's pace attack will be without Mohammed Shami. Prasidh's bounce and Suthar's control offer options on Australian tracks, but the real test will come against a full-strength Australia A batting line-up in the second innings. The match at the MCG is a key audition for spots in the Test squad, with the selection committee expected to announce the touring party within a fortnight. ## Coverage - cricinfo.com Straight match report with no political slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
