Australia is chasing its first Border-Gavaskar series win in a decade as an enthralling summer of Test cricket comes to a thrilling climax at the SCG. Follow all the action live.
G’day cricket fans. It’s time. Day three of the fifth and final Test of this incredible Border-Gavaskar series is here - and I’m pretty sure by the close of play today, someone’s going to be lifting that trophy. I have no idea who, and neither do you.That’s how finely balanced things are right now between Australia and India.Ravinda Jadeja and Washington Sundar will resume at 10.30am AEDT with India on 6-141.
The situation would be almost beyond retrieval for the tourists were it not for a swashbuckling 65 off 33 balls yesterday by Rishabh Pant, who dragged his team back from the brink. But we still don’t know much about the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah, who spent most of his Saturday getting scans on a mystery injury; we don’t know if he’s fit enough to bat, let alone bowl.
I’m Vince Rugari and I’ll be gibbering with you throughout the day with contributions from our esteemed cricket geniuses Daniel Brettig and Tom Decent. Let’s go.
