A big cheer comes around the SCG as Scott Boland prepares to bowl.
He bowls and it's very close to the edge and Alex Carey fumbles it!
He took it cleanly in the end but there was no edge.
The members stand applauds as Boland goes to fine leg.
"Relentless" was Adam Gilchrist's simple definition of the over.
Scott Boland is on absolute fire!
He's bowled one close to the body of Nitish Kumar Reddy and he hung the bat out there with the nick going to Steve Smith in the slips.
BOLAND'S ON A HAT-TRICK!
Rishabh Pant is out!
He's attempted a hook shot off Scott Boland and spooned it straight to Pat Cummins at mid-on and he takes the catch.
Pant fought hard for his 40 off 98 balls but now he's gone.
"He walked off, dropped the glove, he half threw it out of disgust at himself again," Adam Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket.
India arew 5-120.
He was having such a good debut.
Now Beau Webster has thrown four overthrows, we haven't seen a 5 for a while!

Scott Boland with ball in hand again to start the final session of day one.
That session ends … finally.
What a slog that was. India are certainly playing very defensive.
Rishabh Pant walks off for a brave 32 not out and Ravindra Jadeja has 11.
Pat Cummins gets one to cut back into Rishabh Pant and it's hit him in the groin now.
Earlier, he copped one to the back.
He's down for the count.
"I can't imagine the last time I've seen Rishabh Pant, play and miss, play and miss and hang in," Harsha Bhogle said on Fox Cricket.

Jadeja grabbed a single. Then the next ball, Rishabh Pant decided he'd had enough and smoked Webster down the ground for six.
Ground staff now have to get a ladder out to retrieve the ball and there's a big cheer as it's returned.

It felt like India were on the low 80s for this whole session.
But now Rishabh Pant has gone bang and cut Mitchell Starc through point for a boundary.
India are 4-86.
Beau Webster looked like he might have a Test wicket!
But the edge from Rishabh Pant has dropped just short of Marnus Labuschagne at gully.
