Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11am AEDT (00.00 GMT)
Welcome to the first day's play of this all important Test match
between Australia and India
With the series tied at one apiece, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy,
currently held by the visitors, is up for grabs in this fourth and
deciding rubber
We've been informed that Australia have made one change to their
line-up from the third Test; Jason Gillespie returns from injury
and Brad Williams will make way and take up 12th man duties
No final word on the Indian eleven as yet, but Zaheer Khan will
miss the match with injury and fellow left arm quick Ashish Nehra
is also expected to miss with injury. Irfan Pathan and Murali
Kartik expected to be their replacements.
The two captains come walking out to warm applause for the toss
Ganguly has called correctly
And India will be batting first
Those two changes for India announced earlier, Pathan and Kartik
for Nehra and Khan have now been confirmed
Balaji is the 12th man
A nice, clear and sunny day in Sydney. The pitch looks an excellent
one for batting

And that's it for today
The series result all hinges on the last day of the last test
It looms as a battle between India trying to win tomorrow and
Australia looking to save the test, but an Aussie victory may not
be out of the question either
Match State: Stumps - Day 4
Welcome to the fifth and final's day play of this Fourth Test
between Australia and India
We've had some overnight rain, and things are a bit overcast this

Ten minutes out from the start of play, it looks like there might

But the covers are off the pitch now as play is about to commence

And that is tea, with the match nicely poised for an exciting
finish
Australia made their intentions clear in that session, some
defensive batting (certainly by this side's standards) a sign that
they'll be content to draw the Test and deny India a series win
India have six wickets to take, but only two wickets away from a
very brittle tail, and they have a minimum of 35 overs in a 2 hour
23 minute session to do it
