BGT 2024-25: Bumrah Picks Five As India Take 46-run Lead After Bowling Out Australia For 104
Captain Jasprit Bumrah: Captain Jasprit Bumrah picked a dazzling 5-30 as India secured a handy 46-run lead at lunch on day two of first Test after bowling out Australia for 104 in 51.2 overs at Perth Stadium on Saturday. It is also the third lowest-score for Australia in Tests at home since 2000.
In the morning, resuming form 67/7, India looked certain to end the innings early, but Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood frustrated them with a dogged last-wicket stand of 25 off 110 balls, as they were able to keep the deficit below 50 runs. Apart from Bumrah, debutant all-rounder Harshit Rana finished with 3-48.
India had a fantastic start to day two’s play, thanks to Bumrah striking on his first ball of the day to complete his 11th five-wicket haul in Tests, as he got Alex Carey to nick behind. Harshit Rana got the reward for his banging into the pitch deliveries as Nathan Lyon was cramped for room and his well-directed short ball took the glove edge to slip cordon.
