swing and a miss and it's all over. India have won by 8 runs! It's been a really tight finish and finally India have managed to win a game in this series.

another full ball, played back to Zaheer, he dives and fields. He thinks about throwing one end, then the other, lobs it towards the striker's end. Just one run taken
low full-toss on the stumps, driven at, only the single as the ball is dug out
short of a length, on the stumps, Lee has a huge swing and a miss, through to the keeper
fullish and on the stumps, driven to the off side, just the single this time
Bang! That is a quality hit to begin the over from Hopes. The ball is full, straight and right in the slot. Hopes cashes in with a straight drive that races away to the fence
16 needed from 6 now. Zaheer Khan to bowl.
full and outside the off, squeezed through point and just another single. India won't mind that. Excellent over from RP in the context of the match
full and straight once more, driven hard back down the ground, past the bowler, Uthappa is at long-on and runs around and fields really well. This has been a really tight over so far from RP
full-toss on the pads, could have gone anywhere, Hopes only manages to work the ball through square-leg for a single
low full-toss once more, RP doing well here, driven down to long-on for yet another single. The pressure is seriously mounting on the batsmen here
low full-toss outside the off, eased down towards long-off for a single
fullish and on the off, Lee drives but can't beat the man at mid-off
22 needed now from 12 balls. Three wickets in hand.
tossed up and on the off, the batsman comes down the pitch but can't get it away, driven back to Kartik who has bowled extremely well in this innings
Lee forces this one to the leg for a scampered single
tossed up and outside the off, a bit of turn as well, eased to the off side
flat and on the stumps, excellent ball to Lee first up, defended back down the pitch
flatter and a bit straighter, swept down just wide of the diving fielder at short fine-leg
tossed up and on the middle and off, a bit of turn, played down to short third-man
Now Brett Lee comes in to bat but Hopes is still around. He's the main man for Australia now.
fullish and on the pads, Hogg works this down the pitch and ambles rather aimlessly further towards the bowler. RP Singh has pounced on the ball in a flash and lets rip a powerful and accurate throw. The stumps are down and that's the end of Brad Hogg! India right back in this game now
Brad Hogg is the new batsman
Got him! This is a huge, huge wicket for India at this stage. Symonds, perhaps mindful of the fact that a boundary had not been struck in a while, tries to improvise. Symonds goes to the leg side and shapes to cut. The ball pitches on middle and straightens a touch and once Symonds has missed it only one result is possible. The middle stump is pegged back and India have a big wicket as the pressure mounts in this tight finish
