There ends the Australian 1st innings
The Indians have really fought back wel after being belted for the
whole of yesterday
But for Hayden's innings, Australia seem to be in a bit of trouble
again
Same for India too, but for Harbhajan Singh the bowling looks
ordinary
Harbhajan picks 6 wickets today and the only other wicket to fall
today was also off his bowling
But it was not credited to him as Steve Waugh handled the ball
Australia adding 65 runs this morning and losing 7 wickets
Hayden contributing 56 off those 65 runs
