5th Test: Boland Picks Four Again To Leave Match On Knife’s Edge After Pant's Fiery 61
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 first innings lead, they came out all guns blazing in their second innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal smashing four fours 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 fag 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. Though India have a lead of 145 after ending day two at 141/6, they have only four wickets in hand, with the game heading towards a thrilling end.
