The bad light stopped the play after tea-break on Day 4 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Usman Khawaja (4*) and Marcus Harris (2*) were at the crease as Australia concluded the second session at six without loss, trailing India by 316 runs, after being bowled out for 300.

Earlier, the morning session was washed out due to persistent drizzle and bad light. Without a single ball bowled in the session that was scheduled to start 30 minutes before the regular time, India were in command since the beginning. The visitors are 2-1 up in the four-match series and eyeing a first-ever Test series win Down Under. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav claimed a five-wicket haul, his second in Test cricket, as India wrapped up Australia for 300, with a lead of 322 runs. Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami took two wickets each, while Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Peter Handscomb (37) to join the party.

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka High Court on Monday extended the interim relief given to Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh till March 9, in a case related to mimicking a character from the movie, 'Kantara Chapter-1', and allegedly mocking a deity.

The actor had approached the High Court seeking the quashing of the FIR against him for mimicking Rishab Shetty's role as 'Chavunda' deity in the movie.

While mimicking, Singh had called the deity a "ghost". The actor was asked to appear before the court in person on Monday.

Appearing on behalf of the actor, his counsel Sajjan Poovayya said Singh was stuck in London and was unable to reach Bengaluru due to the conflict in West Asia.

The complainant, who is a lawyer, alleged that his religious sentiments were hurt by calling the deity a ghost. On the directions of a local Court, the police registered a case against the actor.

The High Court on February 24 granted interim relief to the actor with directions to the police not to take any coercive steps against him.
