That is the end of the Indian innings. Powered by Sachin Tendulkar
(139) India managed to get to 299/8 off their allotted 50 overs.
But for a collapse in the middle order India might have done even
better
The Aussies however are a fighting team, one that strives hard
where all else would have given up hope
Only Tendulkar and VVS Laxman (83) really got going
Sachin Tendulkar today crossed 10,000 runs in ODIs, a milestone no
one else has reached. But spare a thought for Glenn McGrath too.
The tireless Aussie fast bowler crossed 200 wickets in this game
After a 40 minute break for lunch play will resume

That is the end of this match. India have won by the comprehensive
margin of 118 runs
India win by 118 runs and go 2-1 in the five match ODI series.
It has been a remarkable performance by the Indian team, given the
fact that they were a beaten side in Poona.
Sachin Tendulkar set things right with a match winning century in
the morning.
Chasing a target of 300 runs in 50 overs, Australia lost its way
after the fall of Adam Gilchrist. Ajit Agarkar and Harbhajan Singh
picked up three wickets each as wickets kept falling at regular
intervals.
Once again it was Harbhajan Singh with his off spin, who sent the
Aussies on a tailspin.
This match goes into the record books as the one in which, Sachin
Tendulkar reached the magic figure of 10,000 runs in One-Day
Internationals
Sachin Tendulkar scored his 28th hundred, Glenn McGrath got to his
200 ODI wickets.
The 199 run partnership between VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar for
the second wicket made all the difference as Australia won the tos
and put India in to bat first
Man of the Match is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar!
It has been a pleasure bringing you live coverage of the third ODI
