In Pics: India Off To Poor Start vs Australia In 5th Test

A relentless Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc sliced through an Indian batting line-up missing Rohit Sharma on Friday at a sold-out Sydney Cricket Ground.

Starc and Boland's collective effort put Australia in a commanding position after day one of the fifth and final Test.

The visitors were all out for 185 after Jasprit Bumrah -- captaining the side with Rohit Sharma "rested" -- sent his team in.

Boland with the chief destroyer with 4-31 while Starc took 3-49.

In reply, Australia lost Usman Khawaja for two on the last ball before stumps with Bumrah doing the damage, leaving them at 9-1 with Sam Konstas on seven.
