Mohammed Siraj

Khawaja isn't ready and stops Bumrah as he was about to start his run-up. Bumrah isn't pleased... and Konstas gets involved now. The umpire is keeping Bumrah and Konstas separate as the two approach towards each other

bacha abh tum dekh

Bumrah to Khawaja, OUT

taken at second slip! Bumrah has the last laugh. But he doesn't celebrate. Instead, he turns around to give Konstas a stare

Bumrah to Khawaja, out Caught by Rahul!! Oh Gosh. Look at the Indians almost hounding down Konstas. Bumrah got the wicket and went towards Konstas. A wicket off the last ball. That was a fuller length delivery, took the edge and Kohli grabbed it. Konstas was quiet and walked off with almost 11 Indian fielders celebrating in his ears. That was a fuller ball, left the batter late who played the line and edged it. Even the usually calm and quiet Bumrah can't keep calm. India finish the day with some hope. Khawaja c Rahul b Bumrah 2(10)

Bumrah to Khawaja, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Akash Deep and Marsh out of Sydney showdown

Australia will have another debutant in their XI, while India will make at least one change in their bid to draw the series

SCG showdown to decide Border-Gavaskar Trophy

From that first day, when 17 wickets fell in Perth, there has been intrigue in this Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Even the game ruined by rain in Brisbane threw up something unexpected - a sudden retirement. Now as a hard fought, highly entertaining series comes to an end, Australia have the chance to cement their legacy - the reigning ODI and Test world champions have one hand on a trophy that has eluded them for 10 years - and India still have the chance to deny them.

There were reports of friction inside India's ranks. The captain Rohit Sharma is so short of runs his place in the team isn't looking so good. The coach Gautam Gambhir did not confirm if the captain would be in the XI, which created a very different feel to India's build-up. Shubman Gill, who was left out at the MCG Test, was one of the first in the nets and Dhruv Jurel, who hasn't played since Perth, was the last to leave. If that's any indication of a change in India's batting line-up, is Rohit going out?

India have been struggling to score first-innings runs - their average of 22.40 is their seventh lowest in a season where they've played at least five Tests - and have had to play catch-up constantly in Australia. Sydney is a place they might enjoy though. The SCG isn't quite the batting paradise it used to be, like when India declared on 705 here in 2003, but it is still offering 34.85 per wicket which is better than any other ground in Australia over the last three years. That could be one of the reasons Australia are bringing in bowling reinforcements. The short turnaround between the Boxing Day and the New Year's Tests is another. Beau Webster will be making his Test debut in place of Mitchell Marsh.

For a while it looked like India might be able to escape the MCG with a draw. Yashasvi Jaiswal once again proved to be India's best batter. At the end of that game, Rohit said the juniors still had a bit to learn about Test cricket, but it seems like they're doing alright. Jaiswal is India's highest scorer of the series. Nitish Kumar Reddy produced their best moment. Akash Deep has won Steven Smith's admiration, but he's out of the Sydney Test with a bad back. India's vulnerabilities lie elsewhere.

Well played bumrah!

Boom must teach others how to bat.. sorry i mean ball 🏐

In india only bits and pieces players qualify as allrounders 🤣

Stumps on day 1. 11 wickets fell and 194 runs were scored. The grassy deck at SCG clearly aided the bowlers. India were shunted out for 185. Indian batters tried almost everything but as has been the case, they couldn't get a lot of runs. Boland, Starc and Cummins came to the party and shared the ruins. But the wicket still has the spice. Konstas looked like a cat on a hot tin roof. But he riled up Bumrah with two balls to go and Khawaja had to pay the price as he was snared up in the cordon with Rahul taking the catch at second slip. Bumrah was looking to bowl his over off quickly.
