Batting : India
Bowling : Australia
Australia have won the dramatic second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar series to take a 2-0 lead. With this victory Australia have also equaled their own record of 16 straight Test wins. In an event filled day, the home team emerged victorious to retain the trophy. Anil Kumble's resilience defied Australia's bid for their record win but Clarke's late burst of three wickets in an over turned the game for the home team. The extra ordinary performance by both teams is the prime reason for Test cricket to be regarded as the toughest of all forms. Aggressive cricket, high drama, pressure, courage, fight and grit - the Sydney Test had all the ingredients to make it one of the most closely fought encounters in recent times. India would be forgiven to believe that rub of the green wasn't on their side. Andrew Symonds, who contributed with the bat chipped in with the ball in the fourth innings to bag the Man of the Match award.

Not many Indians fans would have imagined that by tea time India would be struggling at 79-3 with their key performers VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar back in the pavilion. Stuart Clark, whose reputation as a very accurate bowler is rising steeply, produced another fantastic spell to open the doors to victory. VVS Laxman, who produced a magical knock in first innings was undone for with some wise bowling by Clark. Sachin walked out to a grand reception as this might be his last Test in Sydney, didn't cast his magic again and got an inside edge onto his stumps. Australia are now eying a victory at the SCG and they have 46 overs to clean up the remaining seven Indian wickets.

Symonds, who was the top scorer in the first innings with an unbeaten knock of 162, brought up his second fifty of the game. The right hander was later caught by Dhoni, who took a stunning catch off RP Singh's bowling. Anil Kumble yet again was the leading wicket taker claiming four wickets.

A rock solid partnership of 160 runs for the third wicket has helped Australia attain a lead of 213 runs. The Indian fast bowlers toiled hard for major part of the day and were left high and dry without any wickets to their credits. All four wickets were shared between the two spinners Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble, the latter picking two wickets in two balls of Hayden (123) and Clarke (0). Hayden struck a brilliant century to take his tally to 29 Test tons. The left-hander is now the leading centurion opening batsman for Australia. Bad light was offered to Australia and they accepted it. We will have an early start tomorrow to make up for the lost time and overs. It promises to be action filled final day of cricket tomorrow.

Ishant Sharma will start the proceedings. The delay was of 17 minutes but the forecast says there could be such disruptions throughout the day.
Showers make way for bright sunlight and the players are back on the field.
Good news as the covers are off and the umpires are back to inspect the conditions! Let's hope for some positive result.
As per the forecast the rain has halted play on Day 4 of the 2nd Test between Australia and India at the SCG. India maintained a tight line today and RP Singh in particular bowled with a plan. Young Ishant Sharma seems to be improving. Australia still trail India by 39 runs. We will be back as soon as the action resumes.

India have avoided the follow-on and are now trailing Australia by 141 runs with Sachin 52* and Dhoni at the crease. India have lost two wickets in the first session from 26 overs and have managed to score 126 runs. Sourav Ganguly got his footwork going in the morning and played some nice strokes to bring up his 31st Test fifty. Partnering Sachin Tendulkar, the left-hander was particularly aggressive hitting a six off Brad Hogg. However, Hogg had the last laugh as Ganguly scooped a simple catch to Hussey to miss out on a big hundred. Yuvraj Singh looked to be struggling with the old ball and with extra pace of Brett Lee he was out lbw for 12. The power hitter missed out yet again and has failed to impress in the series so far. Sachin Tendulkar has looked solid and the master-blaster now holds the key to India's challenge. We will be back after the Lunch break.

India end day 2 of the 2nd Test at 216-3, thanks to a spirited stand of 175 runs between Dravid and Laxman. It was a partnership of contrasting styles that steadied the Indian ship. Rahul Dravid played a patient but courageous innings to bring up his 50th Test fifty. Laxman delighted the Sydney crowd by hitting some finest strokes all around the park. However, Dravid was dismissed on 53 by Johnson and Laxman his partner for major part of the day too was sent back in quick succession. One more wicket would have put India on the back foot but Sachin Tendulkar 9* and Sourav Ganguly unbeaten on 21 ensured that India did not lose any further wickets. Brett Lee bowled his heart out, bowling quick, accurate and short. He cleaned up Jaffer (3) with a fiery yorker and conceded just 34 runs from 15 overs. Join us tomorrow for the live action of third day's play.

Rahul Dravid's four of the first ball of the post lunch session gave indication of the things to come. Positive approach was what needed from the Indian batsmen and they did just that. VVS Laxman, who is promoted up the order for this series played a characteristic innings and brought up his fifty from just 43 balls. His strokeful innings was peppered by 10 fours. The right-hander struck some delightful shots on off as well as on side and is looking in great touch. Rahul Dravid too played a temperamental innings and is unbeaten on 18 from 88 balls. India still trail by 362 runs but they are fighting their way back into the game riding on Laxman's 73 from 71 balls.

A belligerent 173 runs partnership between Symonds and Hogg has changed the course of the second Test match. India's fantastic bowling performance had reduced Australia to 134-6 but Hogg single handedly took the game away scoring nearly run a ball to bring up his first Test fifty. Andrew Symonds scored his second Test hundred saving Ponting's decision to bat first from backfiring. RP Singh bowled brilliantly and troubled the Australian left handers picking up four crucial wickets.
India's inability to clear the tail has hurt them again as the long partnerships have produced runs at above four runs an over giving Australian bowlers extra time and more importantly a psychological edge. Hard work by the Indian bowlers has yet again failed to yield the desired result. Andrew Symonds is unbeaten on 137 and is ably accompanied by Lee on 31.

India failed to pick wickets in the first session of the first Test and as a result it became that much difficult to stop the Aussies from posting a big total. With Hayden and Jaques already back in the hut here at the SCG , India have a good control over this Test match. Jaques, who has been very consistent in brief international career was dismissed for a rare duck by RP Singh. The lone centurion of the first Test Matthew Hayden too was dismissed cheaply for 13 by RP Singh. Young Ishant Sharma has been impressive this morning and it would please the team management as Zaheer Khan has been spearheading India's fast bowling department for a long time now. Ricky Ponting loves playing at this ground is looking good at the moment on 36 with left hander Hussey on 37.

Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the second Test from the SCG as hosts Australia and India kick start the cricketing action of 2008. The Ponting led Aussie team is high on confidence and is only a win away from equaling their own all time record of 16 consecutive Test wins. The Indian team would be hoping for a turn around in the New Year after the humiliating 337 runs defeat in the first Test. Anil Kumble has urged his team to break the shackles and play freely. It promises to be a close contest as most Indian batsmen have registered big scores at this ground. Australia too, have an impressive recent record at the SCG having won 11 of their last 13 games. Skipper Ponting has over 1000 runs to his name from this venue. A lot will depend on Sachin Tendulkar, who averages 249 at this venue thanks to his incredible innings of 241 runs in the last tour. The Indian team will have to be at their best as a defeat here would quash their hopes of winning the series Down Under in just three weeks of landing in Australia.
