The SCG pitch for the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India, which was dominated by pace bowlers who gained lavish seam movement and some uneven bounce, has been rated "satisfactory" by the ICC match referee, and Cricket Australia has termed it a "step in the right direction" for surfaces at the venue.

The scenarios are clear-cut for Australia going into the final match of the five-test series with India at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Australia race to victory on day three of the Fifth Test in Sydney with Scott Boland taking 6-45 to help regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

On this day in 2019, India led by Virat Kohli, achieved a historic Test series victory in Australia, winning 2-1 in a four-match BGT series.
