IND vs AUS: Early wickets from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj meant, Australia had been decreased to 101/5 at lunch.
IND vs AUS 5th Test LIVE: Australia started confidently after the lunch break as Jasprit Bumrah stepped out of the park. Now, Alex Carey and Webster strung a partnership.
Team India started the day 2 exceptionally well as Jasprit Bumrah got rid of Marnus Labuschagne first and then Siraj picked up Konstas and Head in the same over. The hosts were reeling at 39/4. Then finally Prasidh Krishna got the first wicket of the series, as he dismissed Steve Smith for 33. Australia were 101/5 at lunch.
A green top that offers steep bounce and extra seam movement—that is what awaited Team India when they opted to bat first. The decision-maker was obviously Jasprit Bumrah, who is leading the side amidst the development of Rohit Sharma dropping himself for the betterment of the team. The same old story transpired as the Indian top-order failed. Nonetheless, with some cameos, India posted 185 in their first innings. Some fiery tensions involving Sam Konstas led a red-hot Bumrah to leave India on a high, dismissing Usman Khawaja on the last ball of the day. Now, Australia trail by 176 runs now and if India make further inroads in the first session, then the Bumrah-led side would certainly feel brighter in the SCG Test.
