END OF INNINGS AND LUNCH AT KOLKATA

Well this is the end of India's Innings with Clarke Taking the last wicket to wrap it up. Ponting put all fielders close in and the ball went about 50 cm before being caught by Martyn. The Homeside were bowled out for 328 off 115.2 Overs an amazing 46 extras were given away. We still have around 70 overs of play of which the Aussies will bat. It is now Lunch here at Kolkata we'll come back after the break with the highlights and session review on SKY SPORTS. Remember to PRESS RED if you are a digital subscriber.

SKY SPORTS SESSION

Well the morning session was a good one for Both sides. India scored 82 runs whilst Australia took 5 wickets. The spinners and pace did well on the day 2 pitch which is still quite dry with very low cracks. The session was mainly lead by Dhoni, Laxman and tailender Agarkar who was out there supporting and hitting a few runs along with defending. None of the Indians got passed 100 but we had 2 fiftys. Well we will see you soon with the Australian innings and second session.

Also remember the One day series starts this weekend so remember to watch the first 20/20 match. With More technology which isnt used in this test.

This is the Australian Batting Lineup

Australia are in a very good position. Shame they gave away so many extras.

 

[gamerkid22]

Australia are in good position but India should have got more runs as they play well in home conditions

 

[surendar]

Hayden is always great in Indian conditions!!!! Aussies are in driver's seat at the moment!!!

Your pictures aren't loading up since HAYDEN GETS A 50, is it just me who's having this problem?

 

[Brett_Lee]

CLARKE THINKING TO QUICKLY??

Michael Clarke might have been trying to jump to a fifty by playing a shot which was caught close in by fielder Zaheer kahn. Agarkar has claimed his first wicket for this test match. Clarke was dismissed on 40 and its a bit dissapointing after the effort he put into his shots. Australia are 6/255.
