AUS vs IND, 5th Test, Day 3 Live: Beau Webster & Usman Khawaja Play Critical Knocks To Help Australia To Series Win, Seal WTC Final Spot

Live coverage of day three of the fifth and final Test between Australia and India in Sydney.

Scott Boland and Pat Cummins run through India’s line-up to take the remaining four wickets only for 16 runs on day three of the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Boland, who had taken four scalps by Stumps on day two, took his second fifty in Test cricket as Australia bundled India out for 157.

With a 145-run lead but only four more wickets left in the shed, Team India faces the tricky task of setting a defendable total on day three of the fifth and final Test in Sydney. As the pulsating five-Test series reaches its potential final day, whether Jasprit Bumrah will bowl or not also remains up for discussion. Rishabh Pant’s innings of 61 was crucial in pushing India’s total well above 130 in no time.

Australia must restrict the tourists to as minimum a total as possible, although India might have a total to win already on a difficult surface. However, the hosts need to believe that the Border–-Gavaskar Trophy and a World Test Championship (WTC) final is on the line.
