Just after taking the new ball, Bumrah dismissed the well-settled Pat Cummins for 10 runs who had a 50-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Travis Head. A huge inswinger hit on Cummins’ pad who didn’t offer any shot on that. After the bowling end umpire raised his finger to announce his dismissal, Cummins went for a review. However, the story remained unchanged as the ball was hitting the stumps according to the ball-tracking and Australia lost that review.
