**Sydney, Australia –** Mohammed Siraj reached a personal milestone today, claiming his 100th Test wicket, dismissing Usman Khawaja for 41 in the fifth and final Test against Australia. This achievement came as Australia, chasing a challenging 162-run target, found themselves at 4/— with Travis Head and Beau Webster at the crease.
India’s innings, resumed from Day 2, ended abruptly at 157, adding only 16 runs to their overnight total. A devastating bowling performance from Australia saw Scott Boland capture 6 wickets and Pat Cummins take 3. Rishabh Pant top-scored for India with a blistering 61 off just 33 balls. The injured Jasprit Bumrah briefly came to the crease but failed to score. The day belonged to the Australian bowlers, however, who effectively bowled India out and set up a potentially exciting final day of play.
