RELATED | Catch the highlights from day 3 of the IND vs AUS 2nd Test Jasprit Bumrah kept it tight during the opening over, Mohammed Siraj, running into boos from the crowd, yielded a few runs, and Nitish Reddy found McSweeney picking his spots on the off-side for fours. Nitish Kumar, a revelation so far in this series, whipped a four off Cummins and edged Starc past the ropes, while interest was centred on whether India would make Australia bat again.
