In a game of men vs. boys, the men are confortably ahead.
Sehwag, after getting alife (dropped somewhere near sqare leg by Cowen) gets out to a Sidle full toss - brilliant catch though. Changed the complexion of the game,(as only Sehwag can).
Rahul (the ex-wall) Dravid clean bowled by Hilfenhaus - ball hits his elbow and then goes onto the stumps.
Tendulkar had one inside edge drop in no=man's land. One swing and amiss - Harris was a good sport- did nto appeal while keeper and slips were appealing full throat.
Icono was spot on - came home with 40 min to go for lunch and 2 more wickets down. With India at 111 for 4 - had an uneasy feeling abt that Nelson bad luck - went to get chapathy/roti - missed 1 ball and Laxman was gone. This time caught behind off an off-spinner.
Harris to Saha, OUT, India won't go through a session without losing a wicket, Saha shoulders arms and Harris hits off, it was angled in on a length and it was very brave of Saha to make the decision to leave, turns out, it was the wrong one
**WP Saha b Harris 35 (94b 1x4 1x6) SR: 37.23 **
Fall of wicket: 225/6 (84.4 ov); Partnership: 114 runs, 38.3 overs, RR: 2.96 (Kohli 76, Saha 35)
India 225/6 (84.4 ov)
India trail by 379 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
That wicket giving Australia a boost just before tea. There were a few signs that even the relentless Australia was flagging a bit in that session, given the heat and the solidity of Virat and Saha. India still 180 away from avoiding the follow-on though
