I think Australia is much better as if they get 30-40 run lead, India is surely going to lose. Hope Australia atleast wins here because they are losing in most of the other stories

Match is equally balanced for both teams at the moment

Gilchrist will need to knock up a good half century, give the Aussies a defendable total.

Nice Work.

So players are coming to the ground for third's day play of first test match between India and Australia

 

[ashu2411]

A bad start for Australia on Day 3. Absolutely no resistance from Ausseis tain as Australia lost its last five wickets for just 17 runs against some quality bowling from Harbhajan and Pathan. Australia is all out on 236 just after one hour play of third day while India took a crucial 75 runs lead in the first inning. For India 2 wickets each for Zaheer, Pathan, Harbhajan and Ganguly while Kumbe failed to pick any wicket during his fruitless 19 overs.

Here is the match summary after the completion of boh first innings

India is getting ready for the start of its second inning

 

[ashu2411]

Again a bad start for India as Mcgrath strucks in very first over of the India second inning. It was sixth wicket of the session as Dhoni goes with India still to open its score.

 

[ashu2411]

Sehwag starts his inning in his usual way as he smashes Gillespie for a six over mid-wicket.

 

[ashu2411]

But Mcgrath strucks again for Australia as Sehwag fails yet again and India losses its second wicket on 11 as Sehwag goes after making 10. Now India seriously needs to do something with its opening pair if they want to stand a chance against Australia.

 

[ashu2411]

Once again much like first inning, all the responsibility comes on the shoulders of Indian Captain Rahul Dravid and Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Both again tries to form a partnership and takes India past 50. India finishes the session on 53 without any further damages. This ends the session which completely belonged to bowlers as 7 wickets fell in the session with only 70 runs scored. At Lunch India leads by 128 runs and they have 8 wickets left.

Here is the scorecard
