Summary: Despite the wicket of Pathan just before lunch the Indian's continue to build up a crucial lead. If they can whittle away even more time the Aussie's will be forced to draw or risk going for the target and loosing wickets...
 
INDIA ALL OUT FOR 350

The Indian's could be slightly disappointed at not staying at the crease for a longer period of time but will be happy with their efforts in the second innings. They have set a target of 196 with around 3 hours of batting time. An advantage for the Aussie's is definitely how many key players are in form currently...

CHAWLA PICKS UP EARLY WICKET

The Australian's have made a very bad start to their bid for a successful run chase by looseing agressive opener Justin Langer for 10. Langer was drawn forward into a defensive shot by Chawla but was beaten by great turn and had his stumps rattled. This could be the confidence boost the Indian's need to possible dismiss the Aussie's...

ANOTHER ONE DOWN

Phil Jaques has become the second wicket of Chawla as he single handedly keeps India alive. Jaques was looking comfortable playing his natural game but got too confident and tried to smash a wide off break from Chawla over cover. The ball found the edge and was brilliantly taken down low by Dhoni. India are still looking strong as the two first innings centurion's are at the crease...

R.Ponting 13*
D.Martyn 0*
AUS: 2/50

Aus require 146 runs
Time: 4.34 PM

30 MINUTES TO GO, CAN THEY DO IT?

The Aussie's have been pushed right down to the wire by the Indian's and now require 83 in 30 minutes which equates to around 83 of 30-36 balls. Martyn and Ponting have again provided stiff resistance but will need to shift up 3 or 4 gears to get the Australian's home...

R.Ponting 48*
D.Martyn 26*
AUS: 2/113

There will be one more match after this so if India draw they can still draw the series. No ODI's this time either.

It is currently 2-1
