Australia have taken command in the second day of the third Test against India at the Gabba in Brisbane. The five match series is currently tied at 1-1 and a lot will to be played for in the remaining Test series.
Mohammed Siraj is known for his naughty trickery on the pitch. The Indian fast bowlers would do everything to get the batsman distracted and he was again the centre of attraction in Brisbane on Sunday.
Jasprit Bumrah was in his usual role as he removed Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney to provide India some hope early in the innings. But Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne continued to frustrate the Indian bowlers and Siraj then came up with something which didn't go unnoticed.
The incident happened during the 33rd over when Siraj walked past Labuschagne to switch the bails which seemingly annoyed the Australian batter. After Siraj went back to his bowling mark, Labuschagne swapped the bails again.
The trick ended up in India's favour as Nitish Reddy dismissed the batsman in the following over. Siraj was fresh from being punished by ICC for his on field altercation with Travis Head but the pacer once again made his intentions pretty clear.
Coming into the match, Travis Head once again turned out to be India's chief tormentor as he has now scored his second century in the ongoing series.
