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
