After an absolute belter of a series opener, the second Test is just around the corner.

HOW TO LISTEN TO THE CRICKET ONLINE AND ON RADIO

Steve Smith will lead Australia in his first game as captain and there are still some questions over which Aussies should take to the field.

For the first time in a while, India showed they can hold their own playing away from home and expect their champion skipper MS Dhoni to return to the helm.

You’re not going to want to miss this ripper of a contest, so we’ve put together all the ways you can follow the match.

TV:
The Channel Nine commentary team will be starting their coverage in Brisbane from 10:00am AEDT, pumping out an hour of pre-game material before the first ball is to be bowled at 11:00am AEDT. For Queenslanders, that’s 10:00am local time.

Radio:
If eight hours of Mark Taylor fat-jokes doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can hit mute and tune in to Terry Alderman, Geoff Lawson, Jim Maxwell and Damien Fleming on ABC Grandstand.

The ‘Grandstand Cricket Special’ begins at 9:00am AEDT and the match coverage kicks off at 10:30am AEDT. You can tune in on your respective frequency across Australia.

If you want to tune in online or via the Cricket Australia app, you will need an Australian Cricket Family account where you will have the option of listening to ABC Radio Grandstand or the Fairfax Radio coverage.

Note that you won’t be able to stream the cricket coverage from the Fairfax radio or Grandstand websites, so don’t even try! Cricket Australia website is the one to go to.

Online:
If you have a Cricket Australia live pass you can stream every ball on mobile, tablet and desktop.

Cricket Australia’s live scores section has a new brilliant feature for those of you sneakily following the cricket away from the watchful gaze of your boss.

‘Boss Mode’ presents the scores in an Excel spreadsheet format that ingeniously gives the appearance that you are being a productive and efficient member of society. Just keep your fist pumps and “MJ YOU STAR” screams to a minimum…

But of course, if you want the best of the best – The Roar will have a live blog and highlights for every day of every game.

Social Media:
For regular updates and highlights, you can follow Cricket Australia, here; or ESPN Cricinfo, here. Of course, The Roar will be calling it too.
