India vs Australia 5th Test Day 2 live: 1st change for India

India vs Australia 5th Test Day 2 Live: Siraj Strikes!

And India have another wicket! This time it is Mohammed Siraj who removes the ever-chirping Sam Konstas. A smart catch by Yashasvi Jaiswal. The Indian team is extra happy and part of the crowd. It was a full delivery and Konstas fell for it. The drive took a thick edge and went to Jaiswal by the gorge.

IND vs AUS 5. Test Live: Konstas on top

Konstas does not shy away from taking huge risks against Bumrah. He shot the Indian star for a smart boundary. The commentators are stunned. For all his chirping, you have to give it to this man that he has potential. Bumrah returns as one of his bouncers hits Konstas’ shoulders. A bye followed by some banal fielding results in another four from the over.

India vs Australia 5th Test Day 2 Live: Siraj’s Support

Siraj is steaming in from the other end now. He mixes it up between deliveries that angle in and those that move away. It is important that the other Indian bowlers continue to support him.

However, all that has happened so far has not affected Konstas much. Steve Smith is the new man on the field and survived a missed chance. Konstas at the other end brilliantly drove Bumrah down the ground for a brilliant four. This is a match that Bumrah would be keen to win today.
