Team India pacer Prasidh Krishna got the better of Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey on Day 2 of the fifth Border Gavaskar Trophy Test. The Sydney Cricket Ground is hosting the series finale.

Coming in to bat when five wickets were down, Carey started nicely. He hit a boundary off the seventh ball he faced and formed a good partnership with debutant Beau Webster.

On the fifth ball of the 38th over, Prasidh Krishna had a change of angle and managed to slip one past Alex Carey's bat and pad. The ball went past and knocked off the batter's off stump, ending his stay in the middle.

Take a look at the wicket below:

Alex Carey was dismissed for 21 runs in 36 balls. He became the sixth Australian wicket to fall, bringing skipper Pat Cummins to the middle.

Team India takes a slender four-run lead in the fifth BGT 2024-25

With Team India picking up a wicket last evening, the visitors were tasked with dismissing the other nine Aussie batters. India started the day with Jasprit Bumrah getting rid of Marnus Labuschagne (2) and Mohammed Siraj dismissing Sam Konstas (23) later, leaving the hosts reeling at 39/4.

Beau Webster (57 off 105) stood tall after the fall of quick wickets and forged a 41-run partnership with Alex Carey, leading a recovery act. But Team India fought their way back into the contest, with Prasidh Krishna (3/42) and Mohammed Siraj (3/51) making vital inroads. Nitish Kumar Reddy (2/32) also chipped in, helping the visitors take a lead of four runs.

At the moment, India are back on the park batting after the break. They have scored 16 runs in the first over, all coming off the willow of Yashasvi Jaiswal. With the series on the line, Team India need a solid batting display in their second essay.
