# Head pummels India again before another Bumrah 5-for
Travis Head continued his destructive form against India, scoring another century, while Jasprit Bumrah claimed his second five-wicket haul in the series on Day 2 of the third Test in Brisbane.

Head's carnage:

Travis Head once again proved to be India's nemesis, scoring a brilliant 152 off 160 balls. He dominated the Indian bowling attack, hitting 18 fours and a six. His innings was a masterclass of aggressive batting, as he took the attack to the Indian bowlers from the start.

Smith's return to form:

Steve Smith also contributed to Australia's strong start, scoring a century of his own. His innings was more patient than Head's, but he was equally effective in punishing the loose deliveries.

Bumrah's heroics:

Jasprit Bumrah was the lone bright spot for India, as he claimed a five-wicket haul for the second time in the series. He dismissed both Head and Smith, as well as Mitchell Marsh, to finish with figures of 5/46.

Australia in control:

At the end of Day 2, Australia were in a strong position, with a lead of 146 runs. India will need to bat well in their second innings to avoid a heavy defeat.
