117.2 Harbhajan Singh to North, 1 run, 84.0 kph, And folks, that's North's 100! He is delirious! He is down on his knees. He then gets up and kisses the badge on the helmet. A "career-saving hundred," says Adam Gilchrist on air. He pushed that to cover point and rushed across and dived to get inside the crease. His team-mates are very happy.

116.6 Ojha to Paine, OUT, 78.1 kph, Ojha has done him in flight and turn. Fine delivery this. It dipped on Paine who was stretching forward to defend. His back leg went sliding outside the crease as he groped forward to search for the flighted delivery. It gripped and turned and Dhoni removed the bails in a flash. Fine innings comes to an end. Paine has taken Australia to 400. Can Mitch and then the tailenders stay with North long enough?

136.3 Harbhajan Singh to North, OUT, 83.8 kph, North's career-saving innings comes to an end. He has holed out at deep midwicket, in search for quick runs that was the need of the hour. He went for the slog sweep and found Sreesanth. North was under severe pressure at the start of the Test and he has responded with a hundred.

8.2 Hilfenhaus to Sehwag, OUT, 121.5 kph, Sehwag has holed out to deep square-leg! It was the slower bouncer and Sehwag, who was hit on the helmet in the previous delivery, went for the big pull shot. And he couldn't clear the deep square-leg fielder. Hilfenhaus roars! India have lost Sehwag.

9.6 Johnson to Dravid, OUT, 143.0 kph, It will be the sixth time in the last year that Rahul has fallen to the left-arm seamer. It was all set up perfectly. Johnson hurled it full and outside off and Rahul went for his drive. Mistake. Edge and gone! Ponting leaps in joy. India wobbling. Enter SRT.
