India vs Australia 5th Test Match: Live Streaming and Key Updates
The final Test match between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground is heating up! As we head into Day 3, the game is finely balanced, with a result possible sooner than expected. At the end of Day 2, India was at 141/6 in their second innings, holding a narrow lead of just four runs, effectively placing them at 145. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar are currently at the crease, batting on 8 and 6 runs respectively.
**Jasprit Bumrah Injury Update**
A big concern for India came on Day 2 as star bowler Jasprit Bumrah sustained an injury and had to leave the field for scans. Reports suggest he is fit to bat, but his ability to bowl remains uncertain. The team management will assess his condition and make a decision on Day 3. Bumrah’s availability as a bowler could play a crucial role in shaping the outcome of this match, as India aims to level the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
**Day 2 Highlights**
Australia began Day 2 at 9/1 but quickly found themselves struggling at 39/4, thanks to some fiery bowling from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. Steven Smith and debutant Beau Webster tried to stabilize the innings with a 57-run partnership for the fifth wicket. However, Smith fell to Prasidh Krishna, leaving Australia at 96/5.
The Australian batting lineup continued to falter and was eventually all out for just 181 runs in their first innings. Beau Webster was the standout performer for Australia, scoring 57 runs.
India’s second innings hasn’t been smooth either, with six wickets down already. The game is in a tense phase, and both teams are fighting hard to gain an upper hand.
