10.45am local time/5.15am IST: Drizzle arrives but what's India's Plan B?

The odd ball is sitting up on the batsmen and it's mostly been Smith at the receiving end. There was one in the first over of the day that got his glove and surprised him, another a few overs later rose on him from just short of good length and Smith gave the pitch a stare with a few words.

Meanwhile, India seem to be relying heavily on the leg-side plan for the fast bowlers. Smith and Labuschagne have not left a single ball outside off this morning yet and are being made to play almost everything with a packed leg-side field. It's because there's no assistance for the bowlers in the pitch and they're waiting for the batsmen to either miss one and be trapped lbw or hand a catch to one of the fielders on leg, which now includes Rohit Sharma at silly mid-on for Siraj. The question is, what is India's Plan B because soon it will be an hour without a wicket. Bumrah has been replaced by Ravindra Jadeja meanwhile from the eighth over of the day, and now a slight drizzle has taken the players off.

10.05am local time/4.35am IST: Siraj starts day two

There was a lot of chatter around how Mohammed Siraj got emotional during the national anthem yesterday before play. He said in the press conference that he was remembering his later father, who died while the bowler was in Australia and didn't go back home.

Siraj also starts the second day, mainly bowling at the stumps with only one slip, but a backward square leg, square leg and short midwicket in place, and even has Steven Smith to glance one fine with a bit of a bounce. Jasprit Bumrah's first ball, meanwhile, is overpitched and driven handsomely for four by Smith. The sun is out, pitch good for batting, Australia are already closing in on 200.

9.50am local time/4.20am IST: More doubts over Brisbane

Good morning all! Welcome to the second day of the SCG Test. I didn't mean to start off on this note but it now appears that the BCCI has written to Cricket Australia that India will not be able to travel to Brisbane for the final Test of the ongoing series if they will have to undergo another round of hard quarantine. Get all the details here, by Nagraj Gollapudi.

At the SCG, meanwhile, the sun is coming out, says Gnasher who also has an update on Brisbane:

There's a bit of developing news regarding Brisbane, the location for the final Test, with the city going into a three-day lockdown after a person tested positive for the UK strain of Covid-19. We don't yet know if that will have an impact on this series - there have been plenty of discussions between CA and BCCI over the hotel quarantine situation.
