India won by 172 runs

Overs 1-50  | Overs 51-100  | Overs 101-150

17.5

Watson to Vijay, OUT, And he is gone now. Watto strikes. Vijay is done in by the lifting delivery. It climbed shoulder high around the off stump, Vijay is a touch squared up as he tries to defend and gets a thin nick behind. He is obviously unhappy and trudges off disappointed. And sehwag gets close and pats him on the helmet.

M Vijay c †Haddin b Watson 33 (88m 53b 2x4 0x6) SR: 62.26

India 98/1   V Sehwag 62* (55b 9x4 1x6)   SR Watson 4.5-0-14-1

18.4

Krejza to Dravid, OUT, Dravid continues to run dry. Gone for a duck. Jason Krejza gets his first wicket. It was quite a regulation off break. It turned in slightly from outside off stump and some extra bounce and Dravid jabbed it to short leg. His poor run continues. Congrats Jason. Enter SRT.

R Dravid c Katich b Krejza 0 (4m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

India 99/2   V Sehwag 63* (58b 9x4 1x6)   JJ Krejza 3.4-0-33-1

22.3

Krejza to Sehwag, OUT, And Krejza gets the biggie: Sehwag is bowled. It turned in from outside off stump, Sehwag went back to try play a late cut and edged it on to his off stump. Jason Krejza has his second wicket. VVS walks in to bat in his 100th Test.

V Sehwag b Krejza 66 (114m 69b 9x4 1x6) SR: 95.65

India 116/3   SR Tendulkar 14* (12b 3x4)   JJ Krejza 5.3-0-43-2

68.4

Krejza to Laxman, OUT, Krejza has got another wicket. Laxman falls to a faulty stroke. He backed to the legside, trying to create room for the cut but it turned in more than he thought and he was cramped for room. And nicked it over the middle stump and Haddin clung on. Well done Jason. Ganguly walks in for his last Test match. Drinks break.

VVS Laxman c †Haddin b Krejza 64 (193m 141b 5x4 0x6) SR: 45.39

India 262/4   SR Tendulkar 91* (148b 10x4)   JJ Krejza 21.4-1-116-3

82.5

Johnson to Tendulkar, OUT, Tendulkar is on his bike. Trapped in front by Johnson. Out for 109. It landed on the leg and middle line on a length and moved towards middle, Tendulkar was caught on the shuffle and pushed outside the line. It would have taken out the middle stump. Fine innings, with a touch of luck at the end, comes to an end. The new ball has worked. he had slowed down after his ton; perhaps, he was playing for the stumps, or for the new ball or just tired.

SR Tendulkar lbw b Johnson 109 (274m 188b 12x4 0x6) SR: 57.97

India 303/5   SC Ganguly 23* (45b 3x4)   MG Johnson 18.5-7-52-1

116.4

Krejza to Dhoni, OUT, And Jason gets another wicket. No 4. What a strange little Test for him. Dhoni moved towards middle and off and tried to paddle a delivery turning in towards leg. He missed and the ball hit the leg stump. The 119-run partnership has come to an end.

MS Dhoni b Krejza 56 (158m 97b 4x4 0x6) SR: 57.73

India 422/6   SC Ganguly 85* (152b 8x4 1x6)   JJ Krejza 39.4-1-200-4

116.6

Krejza to Ganguly, OUT, And Jason gets his five-for! Super moment for the debutant and the Aussies crowd him. It turned from outside the leg stump and Ganguly pushed at it and got a thick edge. Clarke, at first slip, flung himself to his left to take a very sharp catch. Jason is da maan. Fine innings from Ganguly, though. He looked so solid and serene. Fab knock. Pity he didn't get the ton. Will he get another chance in this Test or have we have seen his last Test innings here?

SC Ganguly c Clarke b Krejza 85 (220m 153b 8x4 1x6) SR: 55.55

India 423/7   Harbhajan Singh 1* (1b)   JJ Krejza 40-1-201-5

122.3

Krejza to Khan, OUT, Wah! Wicket no 6. What a bitter-sweet debut! It was well-flighted delivery outside off stump into the rough and Zaheer Khan went for the big drive and edged it on to the stumps.

Z Khan b Krejza 1 (25m 16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 6.25

India 437/8   Harbhajan Singh 14* (18b 3x4)   JJ Krejza 42.3-1-215-6

122.4

Krejza to Mishra, OUT, Would you believe it? Krejza takes another one. On a hattrick now. It landed outside off and went on straight, without too much spin, went with the angle and the batsman pushed inside the line. Death knell. THe off stump was pegged back

A Mishra b Krejza 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

India 437/9   Harbhajan Singh 14* (18b 3x4)   JJ Krejza 42.4-1-215-7

124.5

Krejza to Sharma, OUT, What a memorable debut for Jason Krejza. The European combo of Jason Krejza and Katich has combined here well to get Krejza his eight wicket. Super duper. Ishant flicked it to the right of Katich, at short leg, and he takes a good sharp juggling catch. Krejza won't forget Nagpur, Indians will always remember him and his bizarre debut. Runs and wickets. Arthur Mailey, the former Aussie legspinner, would have been proud. Congrats Jason.

I Sharma c Katich b Krejza 0 (9m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

India 441/10   Harbhajan Singh 18* (24b 4x4)   JJ Krejza 43.5-1-215-8

6.5

Khan to Hayden, OUT, Vijay has run out Hayden. Hayden is walking. What a blow. It was pushed to mid-on and Vijay rushed in, picked the ball, and fired a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Not a wise decision by Haydos to pick a young man

ML Hayden run out 16 (30m 26b 3x4 0x6) SR: 61.53

Australia 32/1   SM Katich 14* (15b 2x4)   Z Khan 3.5-0-21-0

17.1

Harbhajan Singh to Ponting, OUT, Harbhajan has taken out Ponting. Wicket no 300 for Bhaji. It landed outside off stump on a length. Ponting shaped to cut it but was stunned as the ball turned in, cramped him and hit the top of the off stump. This is the tenth time he has dismissed Ricky. This is the first time he has bowled Ponting and It was Harbhajan 200th wicket in India.

RT Ponting b Harbhajan Singh 24 (45m 41b 3x4 0x6) SR: 58.53

Australia 74/2   SM Katich 32* (36b 5x4)   Harbhajan Singh 7.1-0-27-1

70.6

Khan to Katich, OUT, And gets him lbw with the reverse swinging yorker. It dipped in late with the shiny side, Katich couldn't get his bat down in time and was hit on the boot. Hawk eye suggests it would have clipped the leg stump. Fine hundred from Kato, though.

SM Katich lbw b Khan 102 (304m 189b 9x4 0x6) SR: 53.96

Australia 229/3   MEK Hussey 63* (172b 6x4)   Z Khan 19-4-60-1

84.4

Sharma to Clarke, OUT, Done in by a beauty. 136.9 kmph hitting the length on the off stump line, the shiny side outside and it shaped away, Clarke is turned inside out and gets a thin nick on the prod. Gone!

MJ Clarke c †Dhoni b Sharma 8 (58m 44b 1x4 0x6) SR: 18.18

Australia 255/4   MEK Hussey 81* (210b 8x4)   I Sharma 19.4-8-38-1

89.5

Harbhajan Singh to Hussey, OUT, The combo of Vijay and Dhoni get together to run out Hussey. What a turning point this is going to be. It was turned to right of silly point and Vijay lunged to make the stop. Hussey was outside the crease, looking for the single and Vijay flicked it towards the stumps, Dhoni gathered it outside off and whipped the bails off. The third umpire says that's out and the Indians mob Vijay. Did the ball slip out Dhoni's gloves as he broke the stumps. Hang on, will confirm after the replays. Replays are in: The ball hit the stumps. And so that's out. It didn't slip down to the groundbut fell on the stumps

MEK Hussey run out 90 (315m 229b 8x4 0x6) SR: 39.30

Australia 265/5   SR Watson 1* (12b)   Harbhajan Singh 27.5-3-80-1

91.4

Harbhajan Singh to Watson, OUT, Harbhajan gets Watson with the over spin. It turned in and Watson tried to defend with soft hands but the ball rolled back, hit his arm, and bounded to the off stump. Bit like how Javagal Srinath got out to Saqlain in that famous Chennai Test in 1999. Triple strike and Australia are reeling. The Indians attacked after Katich's wicket and they are now really squeezing the Aussies.

SR Watson b Harbhajan Singh 2 (36m 22b 0x4 0x6) SR: 9.09

Australia 266/6   BJ Haddin 0* (1b)   Harbhajan Singh 28.4-3-80-2

115.5

Mishra to Haddin, OUT, And he is gone now! Again choosing to pad it away but doesn't get the front leg across well and the ball turned in from the rough outside leg stump, turned past the front pad, and hit the bat held limply and went straight to Dravid at first slip. Catch no 178 for Dravid. He needs three more to equal Mark Waugh

BJ Haddin c Dravid b Mishra 28 (94m 80b 3x4 0x6) SR: 35.00

Australia 318/7   CL White 23* (67b 2x4)   A Mishra 18.5-3-51-1

126.1

Sharma to Krejza, OUT, Traps Jason in front with the nip-backer. It swung in and seamed in, Krejza thrust his front foot out, his bat was nowhere in the picture, late on the defensive prod and was struck in front. Ishant troubled him in the last over but didn't get his line right. Got it now and collects a wicket.

JJ Krejza lbw b Sharma 5 (40m 21b 0x4 0x6) SR: 23.80

Australia 333/8   CL White 33* (108b 2x4)   I Sharma 23.1-8-51-2

133.2

Harbhajan Singh to White, OUT, He has holed out to Sehwag at long-on. White was looking to up the ante but was beaten in the flight this time. He ended up scooping it straight to the fielder. Well played 46, though.

CL White c Sehwag b Harbhajan Singh 46 (162m 133b 4x4 0x6) SR: 34.58

Australia 352/9   MG Johnson 3* (21b)   Harbhajan Singh 36.2-7-93-3

134.4

Mishra to Johnson, OUT, And India take an 86-run lead. Johnson came down the track and lifted straight to Zaheer at long-on.

MG Johnson c Khan b Mishra 5 (41m 25b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00

Australia 355/10   B Lee 1* (4b)   A Mishra 23.4-5-58-2

28.2

Watson to Vijay, OUT, And Watto gets his man. It was full and swinging in with the shiny side, Vijay presses his front foot across, can't get his bat around in time and it strikes the pad. Hawk eye suggests it would have clipped the outside of the leg stump.

M Vijay lbw b Watson 41 (128m 81b 5x4 0x6) SR: 50.61

India 116/1   V Sehwag 73* (90b 8x4 1x6)   SR Watson 4.2-1-12-1

32.5

Watson to Dravid, OUT, And Dravid is out for 3. The awful form continues. Watto strikes with a lovely delivery. With the shiny side outside this time, he got the ball to leave late and Dravid was caught on the lunge. Fatal poke.

R Dravid c †Haddin b Watson 3 (20m 17b 0x4 0x6) SR: 17.64

India 132/2   V Sehwag 86* (100b 9x4 1x6)   SR Watson 6.5-1-21-2

35.1

Lee to Sehwag, OUT, Lee strikes first ball, strangling Sehwag down the leg side. Fab catch from Haddin. It was short in length and down the leg side, Sehwag went for the glance but got a thin edge and Haddin dives with both hands to take a good catch. Bit of a unlucky dismissal, it was around his hips and the glance was there to be played but he just didn't connect well. Fine innings from him.

V Sehwag c †Haddin b Lee 92 (163m 107b 10x4 1x6) SR: 85.98

India 142/3   SR Tendulkar 4* (7b 1x4)   B Lee 5.1-0-24-1

47.1

Krejza to Laxman, OUT, Jason Krejza you beauty! A ripper. It was well flighted into the rough outside off and it turned in. Laxman stretched across to defend and edged it to the leg stump.

VVS Laxman b Krejza 4 (62m 34b 0x4 0x6) SR: 11.76

India 163/4   SR Tendulkar 12* (46b 1x4)   JJ Krejza 13.1-1-73-1

47.2

Krejza to Ganguly, OUT, And he is out for a duck in his last innings just like Bradman. Krejza is on the hattrick again. From round the stumps, flighted on the leg stump line, sucking Ganguly to play across the line and getting a leading edge back to him. Krejza dived forward to hold the catch. What a moment for Jason. And what a tragedy for Dada. Well .. Bradman was out for a duck too. So can't be that bad. A super career has come to an end. Hundred on debut, golden duck in the end .. a rainbow in between. Dada, the most fascinating modern Indian cricketer, has played his last innings.

SC Ganguly c & b Krejza 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

India 163/5   SR Tendulkar 12* (46b 1x4)   JJ Krejza 13.2-1-73-2

49.5

Krejza to Tendulkar, OUT, And more drama as the Aussies charge their way into the Test match. Tendulkar is run out. He pushed it to covers and set of for the run and he was middle of the crease when he realised Dhoni has not budged from the other end. Too late. Gone! And India lead by by 252 runs. Game on. Thrilling stuff. And that's tea.

SR Tendulkar run out 12 (90m 55b 1x4 0x6) SR: 21.81

India 166/6   MS Dhoni 3* (6b)   JJ Krejza 14.5-1-75-2

77.1

Krejza to Dhoni, OUT, Jason Krejza has taken out Dhoni. It was flighted full outside off stump, and Dhoni went for the sweep, edged it on to his boot, and it popped up close on the off side. Hussey moved quickly from silly point and took a fine diving catch. Dhoni waited a short while to get confirmation from the umpire. But a fine innings from the skipper. India lead by 360

MS Dhoni c Hussey b Krejza 55 (117m 81b 4x4 0x6) SR: 67.90

India 274/7   Harbhajan Singh 49* (89b 5x4)   JJ Krejza 28.1-2-134-3

79.2

Krejza to Khan, OUT, Krejza's "crazy" debut continues.Zaheer went for the sweep, gloved it behind, haddin got his left hand out and tapped the ball to the off side, swung around, took a step and flung himself to take the catch. Super effort. And the drama continues.

Z Khan c †Haddin b Krejza 6 (10m 11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 54.54

India 286/8   Harbhajan Singh 51* (91b 5x4)   JJ Krejza 29.2-2-141-4

80.1

Watson to Harbhajan Singh, OUT, Watto has cleaned up Harbhajan. This one came in late, from well outside off and went through the bat and pad gap to knock back the off stump. If only Watson had bowled earlier. The slow over rate has come back to bite the Australians. And how. Harbhajan walks back after a very valuable knock.

Harbhajan Singh b Watson 52 (121m 94b 5x4 0x6) SR: 55.31

India 288/9   A Mishra 1* (2b)   SR Watson 14.1-2-35-3

82.4

Watson to Mishra, OUT, And he does it this time. Fuller, moving in late and Mishra gets the inside edge and drags it to the stumps. Very fine spell from Watson.

A Mishra b Watson 7 (14m 8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 87.50

India 295/10   I Sharma 1* (9b)   SR Watson 15.4-2-42-4

5.4

Sharma to Katich, OUT, Katich goes swinging across the line. He fetched it from outside off and went for the hoick across the line but got the top edge and Dhoni ran forward, got under the swirling ball and took it even as he stumbled a bit.

SM Katich c †Dhoni b Sharma 16 (30m 16b 3x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Australia 29/1   ML Hayden 12* (18b 1x4)   I Sharma 2.4-0-12-1

6.6

Khan to Ponting, OUT, Amit Mishra has run out Ponting! What a wicket. It was quite similar to the Hayden run out in the first innings. Mishra charged forward from mid-off, swooped on the ball, and dived forward - he was parallel to the ground when he flicked the ball on the stumps. Gone! Australia have lost two. The noose tightens. The pressure gets tighter on Hayden.

RT Ponting run out 8 (7m 6b 2x4 0x6) SR: 133.33

Australia 37/2   ML Hayden 12* (20b 1x4)   Z Khan 4-0-25-0

15.5

Sharma to Clarke, OUT, And Clarke is gone! A beauty from Ishant. Deja-vu for Clarke. It landed on a length and shaped away, sucking the leaden footed Clarke into a fatal poke. A unwell Clarke, promoted ahead of Hussey, departs with his runner Katich. Australia slip further but the big Matt is still there. Hope floats.

MJ Clarke c †Dhoni b Sharma 22 (50m 30b 3x4 0x6) SR: 73.33

Australia 82/3   ML Hayden 34* (44b 4x4)   I Sharma 7.5-0-27-2

28.4

Mishra to Hussey, OUT, But Mishy gets his man now. Terrific delivery. Topspinner from round the stumps that bounced outside off, Hussey stabbed a dolly to Dravid who takes it. India come back after the Hayden assault. Mishra has struck in his first over. What a game, always seesawing either way. Test cricket at its very best.

MEK Hussey c Dravid b Mishra 19 (62m 30b 2x4 0x6) SR: 63.33

Australia 150/4   ML Hayden 73* (91b 7x4 1x6)   A Mishra 0.4-0-2-1

29.2

Harbhajan Singh to Hayden, OUT, One more twist in the tale. Hayden is trapped in front by Harbhajan. Caught plumb in front. Hayden walked across towards the off stump, Harbhajan slowed up the pace, flighted it on the middle and off and it went towards the middle, Hayden was caught on the shuffle and struck on the pad in front. Gone! Advantage India. What a huge blow this. Hayden was playing so well, so dominating and it was really thrilling to watch. But he is gone now. Game has turned on its head.

ML Hayden lbw b Harbhajan Singh 77 (159m 93b 8x4 1x6) SR: 82.79

Australia 154/5   SR Watson 0* (2b)   Harbhajan Singh 8.2-1-40-1

32.4

Mishra to Haddin, OUT, The wheels are coming off. Haddin chips down the track but can't clear Tendulkar at mid-on. The ball dipped rapidly on him, nice little delivery from Mishra. The noose gets tighter and tighter. It's Tendulkar 100th Test catch.

BJ Haddin c Tendulkar b Mishra 4 (13m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

Australia 161/6   SR Watson 3* (12b)   A Mishra 2.4-1-3-2

38.4

Harbhajan Singh to Watson, OUT, Another one is back in the hutch. Watson perishes on the back foot. He went back tried to cut it late but the ball bounced a bit more, got the edge and Dhoni doesn't make any mistake this time. Indians have both hands now on that Border Gavaskar Trophy

SR Watson c †Dhoni b Harbhajan Singh 9 (45m 34b 0x4 0x6) SR: 26.47

Australia 178/7   CL White 11* (14b 1x4)   Harbhajan Singh 12.4-1-49-2

43.5

Mishra to Krejza, OUT, Mishra strikes again with a flighted legbreak. Krejza left the castle and went for the big swing to long-on, the ball dipped, and turned past him. Dhoni did the rest. Australia have lost eight wickets. That trophy is moving towards the Indian dressing room.

JJ Krejza st †Dhoni b Mishra 4 (18m 17b 0x4 0x6) SR: 23.52

Australia 190/8   CL White 18* (29b 2x4)   A Mishra 7.5-1-19-3

44.4

Harbhajan Singh to Lee, OUT, Just one more wicket left now. Lee lunges forward, the ball kicks up even as it turns in and one of those bat-pad catches that you have seen thousand times in Indian conditions. Lunge. unsure poke. panic. Bat and pad. Celebration at short leg.

B Lee c Vijay b Harbhajan Singh 0 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Australia 191/9   CL White 19* (31b 2x4)   Harbhajan Singh 15.4-2-54-3

50.2

Harbhajan Singh to Johnson, OUT, And the doosra does the trick. Game over. India have won the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Fabulous win. Johnson didn't pick it up, shouldered arms and the ball turned in to hit him on the pad. Hawk eye suggests it would have missed the off stump. The Indian players converge to celebrate in a huddle of joy. Dhoni had asked Ganguly to lead the team for the last few overs. In the last Test, he had lifted Kumble on his shoulder as they went around the stadium. Meanwhile, in the here and now, Dravid puts his hand over Ganguly's shoulder.

MG Johnson lbw b Harbhajan Singh 11 (22m 16b 1x4 0x6) SR: 68.75
