    2.1 Gone! Uthappa fails again. Plumb to the fast, for once straight, Tait 5/1
    22.6 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! 67/6
    2.4 Cleaned up! The fast, straight Tait strikes again. The off stump goes cartwheeling. Brilliant! 5/2
    6.4 Tait strikes again. The skipper is gone. Lovely, swinging, near perfect delivery on or around off stump from Tait. The keeper snaffles it. 19/3

    41.6 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. 160/9
    36.4 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 140/7

    49.4 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. A good, solid performance from Australia. 207/10
