On the very next ball, Boland had Nitish Kumar Reddy caught behind off Steve Smith, as India lost their sixth wicket. Boland wasn’t too far from his hat-trick! Just beat Sundar’s outside edge. Boland has been the standout bowler for Australia so far, claiming four wickets. (Live Scorecard)

IND vs AUS 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Big session for India!
Considering how things have panned out, staying at crease and not scoring is same as hitting a four and getting out. Pant and Jadeja need to bat out this entire session, at least. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins gets himself back into the attack
IND: 87/4 (44)

IND vs AUS 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Shastri makes big prediction!
Ravi Shastri has predicted that Rohit Sharma might just end his Test career after Sydney Test.
“It still is a brave call for a captain to own up and say, ‘I’m prepared to take the bench in this game.’ If there was a home season coming up he might’ve thought of carrying on, but I think he might just pull the plug at the end of this Test. He’s not getting younger … it’s not that India don’t have youngsters. There are very, very good players in the wings and it’s time to build. Tough decisions, but there is a time for everything,” Shastri told Fox Sports.
08:55 (IST)
IND vs AUS 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Falls just short!
Pant gets a thick edge off Webster, but the ball lands just short of Marnus at third slip. Big let off for Pant and India.
IND: 81/4 (39.3)
08:53 (IST)
IND vs AUS 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Australia behind the over rate!
Once again, Australia are far too behind on over rate. However, India have barely batted 80 overs in an innings for the penalty to kick in. Cummins might switch to Lyon soo in order to make up for the lost time. A couple of over from Travis Head might not be bad either
IND: 81/4 (39)
08:47 (IST)
IND vs AUS 5th Test, Day 1 Live: That was close!
Again, Jadeja gets beaten on the edge. Boland causing all sorts of trouble for India. Jadeja is lucky not to get any part of the bat on that delivery. Australia have been excellent in the slips
IND: 80/4 (37.3)
08:36 (IST)
IND vs AUS 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Pant Hit On Helmet, Physio Arrives
Another blow to Rishabh Pant as Mitchell Starc’s bouncer hits Rishabh Pant on the helmet. Pant didn’t even try to play a shot. Concerned Australian players surround Pant as physio also arrives.
IND 76.4 (36.2 overs)
08:27 (IST)
India vs Australia 5th Test Live: Rishabh Pant Getting Treatment
No Nitish Kumar Reddy yet for India as Ravindra Jadeja joins Rishabh Pant in the middle. The management seems to be keen on seeing two left-handers in the middle at present. Rishabh Pant hit in the middle, and is getting some treatment. Not too serious though.
08:17 (IST)
India vs Australia 5th Test Live: Pant Looking To Change Gear
Rishabh Pant advances down the track against Pat Cummins and nearly loses his wicket. Steve Smith signals a ‘free hit’, seemingly mocking the India wicket-keeper batter. This is not the time to go ultra aggressive but Rishabh seems to have his own ideas.
IND 76/4 (33 overs)
08:11 (IST)
IND vs AUS 5th Test Live: Same Old Dismissal For Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli GONE!!! Same old execution, same old result as Virat Kohli gets caught in the slips. Scott Boland teased the India batter with a 5th-6th stump line again. Kohli couldn’t resist this time and ended up giving an easy catch in slips. A big setback for India.
08:07 (IST)
India vs Australia 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Virat Kohli Gaining Confidence
Virat Kohli gaining confidence with every passing delivery. The star batter has started looking for driving opportunities, but those are also the shots that have cost him his wicket in this series. Pat Cummins looking for slight luck but Virat has largely remained untroubled so far.
IND 71/3 (31 overs)
07:57 (IST)
India vs Australia 5th Test Live: First Boundary Of The Day For Rishabh Pant
A loosener from Pat Cummins down the leg side and Rishabh Pant doesn’t miss the opportunity to hit his first boundary of the day. A more calm and composed approach from the India wicket-keeper so far.
IND 64/3 (29 overs)
07:50 (IST)
India vs australia 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Focus On Pant’s Style Of Play
Rishabh Pant too was at the center of criticism in Melbourne after his reckless shot turned out to be the game-changing moment for India. After Pant departed, India’s lower-order crumbled under pressure. It would be interesting to see how the wicket-keeper batter conducts himself today with the bat.
IND 59/3 (27 overs)
07:44 (IST)
IND vs AUS 5th Test Day 1, Live: 2nd session begins
The second session on Day 1 of the 5th Test between India and Australia has now started. Virat Kohli has now been joined by Rishabh Pant at the crease, after the dismissal of Shubman Gill. Both Pant and Kohli need to form a strong partnership, in order to bring 3-down India out of the trouble. Let’s play!

India vs Australia 5th Test, Day 1 Live: Time To Promote Reddy?
India would be highly disappointed to be standing in this position at the end of the first session. Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli seemed to have steadied the ship with their partnership but Nathan Lyon proved once again why he is considered a GOAT in this part of the world. Will it be Rishabh Pant coming in next or will Nitish Reddy be promoted in the batting order by India?
07:01 (IST)
India vs Australia 5th Test Live: Blow For India Right Before Lunch
The early spin gamble works for Australia as Nathan Lyon gets the prized wicket of Shubman Gill. An edge into the hands of the slip fielder as India lose their 3rd wicket. That’s the end of the first session at SCG.
IND 57/3 (25 overs)

IND vs AUS 5th Test Live: Intriguing Strategy From Australia
As Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill take India past the 50-run mark, Australia introduce spin bowling for the first time. Intriguing tactical call from Australia to introduce spin this early in teh game.

Two crude bombs exploded inside the compound of St Joseph Higher Secondary School in the capital’s Mohammadpur area early hours of Saturday (8 November).
The school authorities filed a general diary (GD) with Mohammadpur Police Station following the incident.
Confirming the matter to The Business Standard, the station’s Officer-in-Charge (OC) Kazi Rafiqul Ahmed said, “The explosions occurred around 2am inside an open space near the school’s third gate. No casualties were reported.”
“At the time of the incident, there was no electricity in the area, making it difficult to identify anyone from CCTV footage,” the OC added.
He further said that preliminary investigations suggest that unidentified individuals might have arrived on a motorcycle, detonated the bombs, and fled the scene. “We are currently investigating the matter.”
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ramna Division Assistant Commissioner Mazharul Islam said unidentified individuals hurled two crude bombs targeting the church.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ramna Division Assistant Commissioner Mazharul Islam said unidentified individuals hurled two crude bombs targeting the church.
One exploded, while the other remained unexploded, he added.
A programme is scheduled to take place in the church compound today (8 November).
Earlier in October, a similar bomb attack took place at Tejgaon’s Holy Rosary Church. Law enforcement agencies have yet to identify those involved in that incident.

E-money issuers must
- Maintain Tk50 crore paid-up capital
- Prepare three-year business and risk plan
- Keep settlement accounts to safeguard funds
- Continuous fraud detection mandatory
- Transparent governance with high-integrity directors
- Mandatory board audit and risk committees
- Fines of Tk50 lakh, license revocation, legal action for rule breaches
- Stakeholders invited to submit feedback before final approval
- Existing operators must reapply within six months of enforcement
The Bangladesh Bank has unveiled draft rules allowing non-bank local and foreign companies to obtain licences to operate as Payment Service Providers (PSPs) or Mobile Financial Service (MFS) providers.
The central bank has published a draft of the “Regulations for E-Money Issuers in Bangladesh” on its website for public consultation, breaking away from the long-standing bank-led model that has dominated mobile and online financial services.
Under the new structure, both banks and independent digital finance companies will be authorised to issue e-money upon approval from the central bank.
Existing MFS and PSP operators – whether bank-led or otherwise – must apply for new licences within six months of the regulations taking effect to comply with the updated framework.
At present, e-money in Bangladesh is issued by mobile financial service providers such as bKash, Rocket, and Nagad, alongside payment service providers like TallyPay, Pathao Pay, and Sheba Pay. These institutions generate e-money through digital transactions and payment services.
The Bangladesh Bank has introduced the draft regulations to bring such activities under a formal legal and supervisory structure, ensuring institutional stability, financial security, and consumer protection.

According to the draft, the new rules aim to “promote financial inclusion, ensure the safety and reliability of e-money, and foster a competitive and innovation-driven payments environment”.
A senior Bangladesh Bank official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the draft as “a milestone reform which will open up the digital finance space beyond traditional banks”.
He said the goal is to encourage competition, innovation, and interoperability. “We want a safe, inclusive, and technology-neutral framework where both banks and fintechs can expand financial access.”
Industry leaders have welcomed the move. “Allowing non-bank EMIs could significantly accelerate innovation and partnerships in mobile and online payments,” said a leading fintech executive.
Draft rules
The framework introduces two categories of e-money issuers: authorised EMIs, comprising regulated institutions such as banks and finance companies, and dedicated EMIs (DEMIs), non-bank entities exclusively engaged in e-money and related payment activities.
Applicants, especially DEMIs, must maintain a minimum Tk50 crore paid-up capital, submit a three-year business and risk plan, ensure fit and proper governance, and establish Trust and Settlement Accounts to safeguard customer funds.
E-money issuers must also implement a robust risk management framework, maintain tested technology systems with sound internal controls, employ multi-factor authentication for high-value transactions, and ensure continuous fraud detection and cyber resilience against evolving threats.
They must also establish effective and transparent governance, featuring directors of high integrity and strict segregation of duties, while requiring mandatory board audit and risk committees to ensure robust internal controls and continuous regulatory oversight.
Violations of the rules could result in fines of at least Tk50 lakh, license revocation, or civil and criminal proceedings.
Stakeholders have been invited to submit feedback before the final regulations are issued. Once adopted, the new framework is expected to reshape Bangladesh’s digital finance industry, aligning it more closely with international practices seen in China, India, and Malaysia.
Bangladesh Bank will exercise oversight and supervisory powers over e-money issuers under the authority granted by the Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972 and the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2024.
