GUWAHATI, Nov 23: Jasprit Bumrah picked up five wickets as India skittled Australia out for a paltry 104 in their first innings on Day 2 of the first test at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
Australia resumed at the overnight score of 67 for 7 but stand-in skipper Bumrah removed Alex Carey for 21 while Harshit Rana took the wickets of Nathan Lyon (6) and Mitchell Starc (26) to skittle the hosts for just 104 runs as India took a first innings lead of 46 runs.
