PUNTER AND MARTO ARE BACK

The atmoshphere was incredible, Damien Martyn chipped a full ball over the infield for his century. The moment the ball left the bat 40,000 people rose and cheered as loud as they possibly could. Martyn saluted the crowd and hugged his team mate. The very next over the process was repeated, The skipper reached his 100. This has been a memorable day for Aussie cricket. Both men who were under so much pressure came out on top and the crowd witnessed something special...

MARTYN FINALLY TRAPPED

The mammoth stand between Damien Martyn and Ricky Ponting has finally been undone by Sachin Tendulkar. Martyn tried to work a full ball away through the on side but was beaten for pace and given out LBW for 146. It was an extremely risky call as replay's showed the ball to be missing leg stump. During this time the captain Ricky Ponting has also mamaged to reach his 150. He will now be looking to reach the 200 mark before tea...

PUNTER FOLLOWS MARTYN

Ricky Ponting would be bitterly disappointed at missing out on a double hundred after being well caught behind by Dhoni off the bowling of Sreesanth.

AUSTRALIA DECLARE

Australia are in a dominant position heading into the Indian innings. They have a good strong lead of 155 runs and have the added bonus of Shane Warne on the 3rd and 4th days. Early wicket's must not fall for India if they are to stay alive...
