Fifth Test, Day 3 highlights, results, latest update

Andrew McDonald has described the Indian's celebrations around Sam Konstas on day one at the SCG as "intimidating" after the furore following Usman Khawaja's dismissal.

India was frustrated when Khawaja appeared to be wasting time to avoid another over late in the day.

Konstas then confronted Bumrah with the umpire had to separate the two.

Khawaja was then gone on the last ball of the day, with India celebrating aggressively, in particular Kohli and Bumrah towards Konstas.

After play on day two, McDonald was asked whether he spoke to Konstas after the incident.

"My conversation with him was around whether he was OK. Clearly, the way India celebrated that was quite intimidating," he told reporters.

"It's clearly within the laws of the game ... there's been no charges laid but to have an opposition swarm the non-striker like that, we have a duty of care to make sure our player is OK and in a headspace to go out the next day and perform. That's all those conversations were."
