2.1 Gone! Uthappa fails again. Plumb to the fast, for once straight, Tait 5/1
SA Asnodkar	run out (Noffke)	23	115	54	3	0	42.59
22.6 from Tait, another slower ball from Tait, they try to run a single ... scampering ... direct hit from Noffke, what's the verdict? we'll have to wait for the third umpire ... he looks a goner ... he's gone! 67/6
SK Raina	b Tait	0	2	3	0	0	0.00
2.4 Cleaned up! The fast, straight Tait strikes again. The off stump goes cartwheeling. Brilliant! 5/2
S Badrinath*	c †Ronchi b Tait	1	19	14	0	0	7.14
6.4 Tait strikes again. The skipper is gone. Lovely, swinging, near perfect delivery on or around off stump from Tait. The keeper snaffles it. 19/3

KD Karthik†	b Noffke	12	19	20	1	0	60.00

YK Pathan	lbw b White	54	106	69	3	1	78.26

AM Nayar	c †Ronchi b Noffke	30	53	48	1	1	62.50
36.4 Got him! the breakthrough that Australia wanted, goes for the cut, not enough room for that shot really, only manages a thin top edge to present an easy catch for Ronchi. That's Noffke's third wicket 140/7
PP Chawla	b White	12	20	17	1	0	70.58
41.1 and he strikes, wild slog from Chawla. He's gone. Cleaned up. 159/8
P Kumar	b Noffke	31	35	27	2	1	114.81
49.4 And that's it. And that's curtains for India. Noffke cleans up Kumar and brings an end to the Indian resistance. 4 wickets for Noffke, 3 for Tait and 2 for the captain White. A good, solid performance from Australia. 207/10
