Adelaide, the Final Frontier: Live Cricket between India and Australia (Fourth Test)
India seeks to conquer the final frontier, Adelaide that it conquered five years ago. The team looks rejuvenated and determined to level the series in style. Australians, smiting under the defeat at Perth, will leave no stone unturned to turn the heat on the Indians.The coin favors the Indians. Anil Kumble won the toss and elected to bat first. India is playing with two spinners - Kumble and Harbhajan. Pathan, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma are the other bowlers. India left out Jaffer, Karthik, VRV Singh, Pankaj Singh and Yuvraj Singh from the final XI.
In a surprising development, India opened the innings with Sehwag and Irfan Pathan opened the innings. Pathan started well, but lasted for 21 balls only. He made 9 before falling to Johnson. India were 53/1 when reports last came in. Sehwag was batting on 33.

Dravid out for 18. But Sehwag on fire. India 87/2. Sehwag reached 50.
India 89/2 at lunch. Sehwag batting on 56. Well deserved half century.
Sehwag out for 63. Lee took the wicket. India 122/3. Australians will go for the kill.
Ganguly departed at 7. India 156/4. Hogg strikes. India is struggling. Can they reach 300? Seems impossible.
Rauf is not good. He always falters at giving LBW decisions. Decisions went both against Indians and Australians. Ganguly got a bad one.
Tendulkar scores 50. Great going man!
India 185/4 at tea. Sachin on 55 and Laxman batting on 16. India on the path of recovery.
Gilchrist dropped Laxman on 37. It was a simple catch. He could not believe it. Sachin on 87. India 241/4.
No. 39 century for Sachin Tendulkar. What a superb performance!
What a delivery by Brett Lee. Laxman completely beaten, failed to understand the bounce and gloved it. Gilchrist took the catch. India 282/5. Laxman out for 51.
India 309/5 at stumps. Sachin is still batting on 124. India has a great day.
