Jasprit Bumrah had spent three of the last five overs of the morning session off the field. He had come back out for the final two overs and resumed the bowling for India after lunch. Bumrah left the field immediately after bowling that over at 1:20 pm (local time). He was seen leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) an hour later in training gear and has headed to the hospital for the scans.
