Full commentary

England imploded after a good start. 10 wickets fell in the space of 83 runs. Maybe a diwali gift to Australia. Despite a mini-hiccup early in the chase, Australia have wrapped it up without too much sweat. That's it from us. Join us on 24th for the South Africa v Sri Lanka match at Ahmedabad. Goodbye and good luck. Ta!

Harmison helps with a no ball and Hussey pings the extra cover fence. The no ball would go into the scorecard, the four won't. Anyways Australia have won the battle on the diwali day.
