Pat Cummins took three wickets on day four of the Sydney Test

Before the third delivery of the over, Cummins went to the round of the wicket and called for a short leg. So, the batter was expecting a short ball.

However, he was not wrong as Cummis bowled a short ball on that delivery. But, in the next ball, he bowled a toe-crushing yorker that him into the back pad. Umpire also gave it out but the batter took a review. However, it did not go in his favor him and Zondo got out for 39 runs off 83 balls, including two fours and two sixes.

But, day 3 of the match got abandoned due to heavy rain. In reply, the Proteas managed only 149 runs for six wickets at the end of day four. Pat Cummins has taken three wickets for 29 runs in 14 overs so far.
