- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Gone! Uthappa fails again. Plumb to the fast, for once straight, Tait 5/122.6 another slower ball from Tait, they try to run a single ... scampering ... direct hit from Noffke, what's the verdict? we'll have to wait for the third umpire ... he looks a goner ... he's gone! 67/62.4 Cleaned up! The fast, straight Tait strikes again. The off stump goes cartwheeling. Brilliant! 5/26.4 Tait strikes again. The skipper is gone. Lovely, swinging, near perfect delivery on or around off stump from Tait. The keeper snaffles it. 19/316.1 Noffke has Kartik bowled. Tried to play across the line again, that came in from off, takes his middle stump 53/541.6 and that one is given. Batsman was rooted on the back foot. Ball skidded him and had him plumb in front. Two wickets in the over for White. 160/936.4 Got him! the breakthrough that Australia wanted, goes for the cut, not enough room for that shot really, only manages a thin top edge to present an easy catch for Ronchi. That's Noffke's third wicket 140/741.1 and he strikes, wild slog from Chawla. He's gone. Cleaned up. 159/849.4 And that's it. And that's curtains for India. Noffke cleans up Kumar and brings an end to the Indian resistance. 4 wickets for Noffke, 3 for Tait and 2 for the captain White.
