Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj complained to the umpires about another incident of racial abuse. The game was halted for close to 10 minutes after Mohammed Siraj walked up from the square-leg boundary and complained of racial slurs at the end of the 86th over in Australia's second innings.

The incident happened when Siraj was hit for a couple of sixes by young Australian all-rounder Cameron Green in the previous over and he had settled on the square-leg boundary when he heard the racial slurs. Unlike last evening, Siraj this time pointed towards the direction of the crowd from which he thought the comments had come. Siraj complained to the umpires and he was backed by India captain Ajinkya Rahane, a couple of other Indian players Cheteshwar Pujara and Mayank Agarwal joined the discussion.A group of spectators were asked to leave after the complaint.

Sean Carroll, Cricket Australia's head of integrity and security, said in a statement outlining the zero-tolerance policy toward racism. He said, “Cricket Australia condemns in the strongest terms possible all discriminatory behaviour. If you engage in racist abuse, you are not welcome in Australian cricket.”
