It's raining quite heavily. The players have gone off.
4.15pm: And we're back, but only to tell you that the umpires, using the 'D/L method', have declared Australia as the winners of this match by 86 runs
Like Australia did today, India will need to raise their game by many a notch to put it across New Zealand tomorrow. Join us at 8.45am for the toss and the match commentary. For now, it's adios from Sid R and myself. Thank you and have yourselves a good evening.

Pathan to Ronchi, 3 runs, good ball on the off stump, holds it line, batsman playing for the turn gets an outside edge that runs to short third man. Scamper through for runs. There's a loud appeal for a run out as the batsmen are completing the third run. Not given

Chawla to Ronchi, SIX, that's his hundred, spectacular one too. Smashed to long-on, Ravi Teja just about managed to get his hands on it just inside the boundary, but overbalanced and went out of the field of play. He tried to toss it back into the ground before stepping across the rope but couldn't quite manage to do what Phil Hughes did yesterday

Chawla to Ronchi, no run, a googly, Ronchi doesn't pick it, gets an inside-edge to the leg side
