Two former Test batsmen hoping desperately hoping for a recall, Marcus Harris and Cameron Bancroft, both fell for ducks in a stunning start to the second innings of Australia A’s match against a touring India side at the MCG.

Harris was caught behind after driving at a dipping ball from India A’s Prasidh Krishna then the same bowler trapped Bancroft in front with his next delivery for a first ball duck.

Harris had made 73 in the first innings.

Fellow Test hopeful Sam Konstas batted away the hat-trick delivery and is teaming with another Test aspirant Nathan McSweeney to try and chase down 168 to win the match after India A was bowled out for 229.

A short time ago, Australia A were 2-13 chasing 168 with McSweeney on 12 not out and Konstas also unbeaten.
