This was a difficult day for India as they toiled with the ball before struggling with the bat, resulting in them falling way behind in the match.

Mohammed Siraj’s bowling took some particularly aggressive treatment as he finished with figures of 0-122.

The visitors then made an awful start with the bat as Rohit Sharma’s form continued to desert him.

The captain, promoted back up from six to opener, lasted just five deliveries as an ugly mistimed pull looped straight to Boland at mid-wicket.

Rohit has scored only one half-century in his last 14 innings and has a top score of just 18 in his last eight.

India’s innings swung from the ridiculous to the sublime as KL Rahul fell to a masterful delivery from Cummins, with the ball pitching on middle and off before seaming away and clipping the top of off stump.

Kohli and Jaiswal’s 102-run partnership offered India a way back into the contest, but they lost three wickets for six runs in a dire 25 minutes before close of play.

Jaiswal went when he pushed the ball straight to Cummins at mid-off and set off for a single that was never on. Kohli was unmoved at the non-striker’s end, leaving Jaiswal stranded.

Boland, on his home ground, lured Kohli into a push outside off stump and he feathered through to Alex Carey for 36, before nightwatcher Deep was caught by Nathan Lyon at short leg for a duck in the penultimate over of the day.
