India’s big Bumrah question at SCG
A valiant effort from the seamers sans an injured Jasprit Bumrah meant India walked away with a narrow four-run first-innings lead. With a few demons holding around the pitch, India opted for aggression against the new-ball. Against tumbing wickets, the visitors lifted the lead to 145 by stumps for the loss of six wickets. Rishabh Pant’s sensational 33-ball 61 embellished the innings as Australia were left liftless for that particular phase while Scott Boland snapped the top-order again.
