CUMMINS PULLS

Australian bowler claims four wickets in comeback Test

RANCHI

AUSTRALIAN fast bowler Pat Cummins claimed four wickets to dent India’s response despite Cheteshwar Pujara’s dogged century on day three of the third Test yesterday.

India were 306 for six at stumps, still trailing the visitors by 91 runs in their first innings. Pujara (130) and Wriddhiman Saha (18) were batting at close of play.

Cummins, making a return after playing his only Test for Australia in 2011, got crucial breaks including the prized scalp of India skipper Virat Kohli.
