Australian cricket's governing body has apologised to India and is investigating claims that visiting players were subjected to racist abuse by spectators during the third Test.

India made an official complaint after day three on Saturday that bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj had received racist abuse in Sydney.

The play was halted yesterday for 10 minutes after more alleged abuse and six people were subsequently ejected from the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Cricket Australia and New South Wales police are investigating this incident which was reported to umpires by Siraj.

The third test will continue today where India need 309 runs to win.

The four-test series is currently level at 1-1.
