SYDNEY: Magic and madness held sway at the SCG on Saturday. Day 2 played out in reels as both teams hurtled from disaster to deliverance and back again. Fifteen wickets fell on what could turn out to be the penultimate day of this captivating series.
First off, Jasprit Bumrah, the gift that has kept on giving, hobbled out with back spasms. That resulted in the biggest surprise of the day as India’s support cast of pacers, instead of wilting, rose to the task and delivered their best performance of the tour.
