Live updates from day five of the third Test at the MCGJoin the conversation: via email or tweet @collinsadam 2.05am GMT 87th over: Australia 261-8 (Cummins 63, Lyon 7) Bumrah to Cummins from the members end. “It’s basically a new ball,” notes Glenn McGrath on Macquarie radio, so he’s the obvious man to start rather than Jadeja, with eight wickets to his name in this Test. He’s getting the ball through nicely to the gloves of Pant, Cummins fending at one that just misses his outside edge. There are two back on the hook, which McGrath says “is ridiculous” as Cummins ducks under a bouncer – he’s not hooking any time soon. 2.02am GMT 86th over: Australia 261-8 (Cummins 63, Lyon 7) Cummins away first ball, tucking Ishant fine, Lyon then doing likewise. Between times, the ground staff came out to bang away at the run up and lay a bit of sawdust. There’s a half-hearted should from Pant got a catch down the legside, but there’s nothing in that, says Umpire Gunner Gould. Cummins keeps the strike with a push to the sweeper (a sweeper?! Now?) at point. Speaking of Gunner, he knows a bit about being at the MCG on unexpected fifth days. And per @derekpringle’s magnificent book, earlier in the Test, Gunner had a meat pie dumped on his head on the boundary at Bay 13. Doubly unusual for a bloke who was a wicketkeeper. pic.twitter.com/GQxPCa44DT Continue reading…
