**Sydney, Australia** – Day two of the fifth and final test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia in Sydney saw a dramatic turn of events. After India were bowled out for a relatively low 185 in their first innings, Australia’s response has been shaky. At lunch, the Aussies were struggling at 101/5, having lost five wickets.
While Steve Smith (33) and Sam Conisborough (23) offered some resistance, top-order batsmen Usman Khawaja (2), Marnus Labuschagne (2), and Travis Head (4) all fell cheaply. India’s bowling attack proved effective, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj each taking two wickets, and Mohammed Shami claiming one. Cameron Webster (28*) and Alex Carey (4*) are at the crease at the lunch break. The match remains tightly poised, with Australia still trailing significantly behind India’s first innings total.
