India vs Australia 5th Test, Day 3 Live: Maiden Over From Boland
Jasprit Bumrah is padded up in the Indian dressing room which means he would come out to bat. However, there’s no official information about his fitness with regards to bowling yet. The seam movement on the Day 3 pitch at SCG is still too much to make the batters feel comfortable. Scott Boland completes an almost unplayable over to Washington Sundar.
IND 155/7 (38 overs)

India vs Australia 5th Test, Day 3 Live: Boland Testing Siraj, Injured Bumrah Demoted
Edged but the ball just lands before the second slip fielder. Siraj flirting with the outside off delivery isn’t a good thing at the moment. No news on Jasprit Bumrah yet as it is Siraj who came ahead of him in the batting order. India might only be preserving the skipper because of his back issue. If that’s not the reason, it’s not a good news for the team.
IND 150/7 (36 overs)

IND vs AUS 5th Test, Day 3 Live: Patience The Way Forward For Jadeja, Sundar
Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar remain India’s last recognised batting pair. The top and middle-order showed a bit of a rush to score runs.
