Zaheer Khan is keeping things tight at the moment. He got to his 50, but Anil Kumble has now been adjudged LBW. Shane Watson confidence is up. The Aussie bowlers are toiling this morning, lets see how long it will be before the last wicket is down.

IIndian innings come to a close

Finally the Australian bowlers finished off the Indians for 360 as the Aussies head into their second innings with a lead of 70.

A fantastic performance by Zaheer Khan, after claiming 5 wickets, top scored for the Indians with 57 not out. This is his second best batting performance.

Ponting may be disappointed with such a slender lead. Some are predicting due to the conditions of the one year old pitch at Bangalore, Australia’s second innings might not exceed 200.

An exciting start as Zaheer Khan is getting the new ball to move.

At lunch Australia has the upper hand

Australia declared their second innings at 228 for six and with a first innings lead of 70, set the Indians a target of 299.

There are only two possible outcomes for this match and the Aussies are determined to win. The Indians on the other hand will have to rally to secure a draw.

Well the Aussies can smell victory as India heads into lunch at 41 for two.

Number two bowler in the world Stuart Clarke, paved the course for an Aussie win, when he dismissed Virender Sehwag for 6. Ricky Ponting took a magnificent catch at mid-wicket to dismiss Rahul Dravid for 5 of Lee.

The Indians need a miracle to win this one.
