5th Test: Boland’s Four-fer, Pant’s 61 Leaves Match On Knife’s Edge At The SCG (ld)
Seamer Scott Boland: Seamer Scott Boland picked up another rollicking four-wicket haul and led the way for Australia’s fightback in the final session of day two’s play and left the fifth Test on a knife’s edge at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.
After India took a four-run lead after the first innings, they came out all guns blazing in their second innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal smashing four boundaries off Mitchell Starc in the opening over. But Boland led Australia’s fightback by picking up three wickets in quick succession, before getting one at the end of day two to end up with 4-42.
But wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant took charge with a swashbuckling 61 off just 33 balls, including hitting the fastest fifty by an overseas batter in Tests on Australian soil and the second-fastest by an Indian batter in the format.
