[Watch] Scott Boland strikes in his first over, squares up Yashasvi Jaiswal in BGT 2024-25 5th Test

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by Australia's Scott Boland for 10 runs in the first innings of the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 Test. The Syndey Cricket Ground is hosting the New Year's Test as usual, with Australia leading the five-match Test series 2-1.

With Rohit Sharma opting out of the Test, India's opening pair for the first three matches - KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal - was back in order. Jaiswal took strike for the first ball of the Test and got off the mark with a boundary off a flick shot, looking in good touch.

However, on the fourth ball of the eight over, Jaiswal had a push at a delivery bowled outside the off stump by Scott Boland. The ball took the leading edge and flew straight to Beau Webster in the slip cordon, who held on and recorded his first catch in Test cricket.

Take a look at the dismissal here:

Jaiswal's first-inning stay at the crease was cut short, with the opener being dismissed for 10 runs off 26 balls. He became the second wicket to fall after KL Rahul (4 off 14), with his wicket bringing Virat Kohli to the middle.

Jasprit Bumrah donned the captain's armband for India, with Rohit Sharma opting to rest for the fifth Test. The visitors have seen a shaky start to the New Year's Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, losing openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul inside the first 10 overs of the match.

At the moment, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill are batting in the middle, with the score reading 33/2 after 14 overs. Team India are trailing 1-2 in the five-match Test series and need a win to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
