Jasprit Bumrah's back injury casts a shadow over the fifth Test as India's other bowlers step up to dismantle Australia's batting in Sydney.
India ’s Rishabh Pant tumbles over as he swats away the Australia n bowling on day two of the fifth Test at the SCG.When the fourth Australia - India Test at Melbourne finished with an hour to go on the final day, those who love the long game were sated.
