119.1 Jadeja to Clarke, OUT, Clarke has finally got out. And the wicket comes - as Dhoni has been expecting for hours - through a mistake by the batsman. Clarke skips down the track, is not close to the pitch of the ball, but goes ahead with an attempt to loft it straight down the ground. The ball turns, and hits the outside half of the bat, and Clarke holes out to long-off
MJ Clarke c Kumar b Jadeja 130 (323m 246b 12x4 1x6) SR: 52.84
120.6 Harbhajan Singh to Siddle, OUT, Bhajji finally gets a wicket in his 100th Test. Finally Sehwag takes a catch. He has worked Siddle out well. After that slow doosra, he bowls full and fast, and Siddle guides this to slip. Sehwag is awake, and Harbhajan has a wicket, who looks towards the skies in sheer relief
PM Siddle c Sehwag b Harbhajan Singh 19 (111m 94b 2x4 0x6) SR: 20.21
132.6 Ashwin to Lyon, OUT, finally Dharmasena raises his finger. Don't think he was left with an option. Offbreak, middle and leg, swept away, gets an edge fine, and Kohli takes a superb catch to his right at backward short leg. Ashwin's best figures in first-class cricket
NM Lyon c Kohli b Ashwin 3 (37m 28b 0x4 0x6) SR: 10.71
3.2 Pattinson to Vijay, OUT, Pattinson, you beauty. Yorker at 150ks. Timbahhhhh. Actually not quite a yorker. But really full, at 150kmph, swinging in a little. Vijay looks to drive, but he has been done in by the sheer pace of this, and he is late, and gets an inside edge onto the stumps. They check for a no-ball, but he is fine, and only just. A little bit of heel is behind the line, and then the foot slides over
M Vijay b Pattinson 10 (15b 2x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
5.2 Pattinson to Sehwag, OUT, Sehwag plays on. Slow to react. Very slow to react on two counts. I am not sure the optometrist is going to get many endorsements. This serious pace. Short of a length, seaming in from outside off, 147ks, Sehwag defends, but the ball bounces inside the crease and takes an eternity to go up and come down on the top of the leg stump. Sehwag doesn't react to the possibility of that happening at all. In fact he spots the ball only after it bounces on the leg stump
V Sehwag b Pattinson 2 (11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 18.18
28.4 Pattinson to Pujara, OUT, bowled him. Timbah. He has bowled three batsmen out today. Pattinson is on absolute fire. This is a good-old offcutter at 140ks. Stays low too, beats his bat for the lack of bounce and hits the middle stump
CA Pujara b Pattinson 44 (74b 6x4 0x6) SR: 59.45
