It's raining quite heavily. The players have gone off.

4.15pm: And we're back, but only to tell you that the umpires, using the 'D/L method', have declared Australia as the winners of this match by 86 runs

Like Australia did today, India will need to raise their game by many a notch to put it across New Zealand tomorrow. Join us at 8.45am for the toss and the match commentary. For now, it's adios from Sid R and myself. Thank you and have yourselves a good evening.

26.6

Pathan to Hussey, 1 run

just short of length ball, played back by the batsman to long on for a single

26.5
3
Pathan to Ronchi, 3 runs

good ball on the off stump, holds it line, batsman playing for the turn gets an outside edge that runs to short third man. Scamper through for runs. There's a loud appeal for a run out as the batsmen are completing the third run. Not given

26.4
Pathan to Ronchi, no run

good length ball, played back to the bowler who fields and starts hobbling

26.3
Pathan to Ronchi, no run

full ball on the off stump, played away to gully

26.2
2
Pathan to Ronchi, 2 runs

length ball, just outside off, hoicked towards midwicket, catch is the cry, three fielders get under it but Badrinath can't hang on to it

26.1
Pathan to Ronchi, no run

driven back to the bowler

end of over 2613 runs

on leg stump this time, worked to square leg

25.4
2
Chawla to Ronchi, 2 runs

fullish, driven down to mid-on

25.3
Chawla to Ronchi, no run

very wide, Ronchi reaches for it and pushes it to point

25.2
6
Chawla to Ronchi, SIX runs

that's his hundred, spectacular one too. Smashed to long-on, Ravi Teja just about managed to get his hands on it just inside the boundary, but overbalanced and went out of the field of play. He tried to toss it back into the ground before stepping across the rope but couldn't quite manage to do what Phil Hughes did yesterday

25.1
Chawla to Ronchi, no run

a googly, Ronchi doesn't pick it, gets an inside-edge to the leg side

Ronchi has raced along into the nineties

played down to mid-on for a single

24.4
4
Pathan to Ronchi, FOUR runs

on middle and leg, length ball, turned away fine on the leg side, Robin Uthappa does some good work on the boundary, deemed to be a four though he looked to have saved it

24.3
2
Pathan to Ronchi, 2 runs

came onto the front foot and flicked it over the infield, batsmen come back for two, there is a run-out appeal, third umpire is called for but Ronchi is well in

24.2
4
Pathan to Ronchi, FOUR runs

and down the ground by Ronchi again, not particularly well timed but enough to take it to the fence

24.1
1
Pathan to Hussey, 1 run

Hussey tries to work it to leg, gets the outside edge and flies to the off
