41.6 Ishant to Bracken, no run, fuller length delivery angling into the right hander, Bracken comes on the frontfoot and looks to defend, edges it to the keeper, in the air and DROPPED!! by Dhoni, that was flying to his left and was a touch low too, he dived but couldn''t latch onto it

41.5 Ishant to Bracken, no run, good length delivery just outside off again, Bracken comes on the frontfoot and feels for it outside the off stump, misses

41.4 Ishant to Bracken, no run, fuller length delivery just outside off, doesn''t come back in enough, Bracken comes on the frontfoot and looks to defend, plays inside the line and misses

41.3 Ishant to Bracken, no run, back of a length delivery angling into the right hander on that occasion, Bracken sways away from the line of the ball and lets it go

41.2 Ishant to Hussey, 1 run, fuller length delivery outside the off stump, Hussey comes on the frontfoot and drives it to long off, straight to the fielder in the deep, just a single

42.6 Sreesanth to Hussey, FOUR!!, fuller length delivery down the leg side on that occasion, Hussey comes on the frontfoot, shuffles across a bit, closes the face of the bat and glances it to fine leg, plays it very fine and gets the boundary!!!

End man Stuart Clark, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Sreesanth to Bracken, out Caught by Tendulkar at mid on!! slower delivery does the trick for Sreesanth, fuller length delivery on the middle and leg, Bracken comes on the frontfoot, gets under it and looks to hoist it over long on, fails to get the timing right, ends up scooping it straight to the mid on fielder, Sreesanth gets his third wicket Bracken c Tendulkar b Sreesanth 1(9)

42.5 Sreesanth to Bracken, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

42.4 Sreesanth to Hussey, 1 run, good length delivery outside the off stump, Hussey comes on the frontfoot, opens the face of the bat and steers it to point for a quick single

Ishant to Clark, out Caught by Dhoni!! Ishant pitches it right up outside the off stump, Clark comes on the frontfoot and looks to force it on the off, they all go up for a caught behind, Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar and Ishant are all very confident and so is umpire Simon Taufel, he raises the finger but Clark can''t believe it, Australia have been bowled out Clark c Dhoni b Ishant 0(1)

43.1 Ishant to Clark, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Well what a moment for young Ishant Sharma. He is leading the team off the field and why not??? He has been the destructor-in-chief for India by picking up the big wickets of Hayden, Ponting and Symonds. Australia never got going actually and were pushed to the backfoot from the first over itself. Barring that one over when Ishant went for 18, Australia always looked under pressure. This is India''s best chance to hand Australia a drubbing and they will be looking at their opening batsmen to do the maximum damage. We will be back after a longish Dinner break. Stay connected...

Ishant Sharma is the Man of the Match for his scintillating bowling performance. He ended with figures of 4 for 38 in 9.1 overs with one maiden. He got the vital wickets of Hayden, Ponting and Symonds which eventually tilted the match in India''s favour.

There you go. The Indians have finally won the match. But they have more problems to ponder over than be happy actually. The batting is very very fragile and they have some serious decisions to make. Chasing 160, they started off well but once again the middle order was under the hammer. However, the positives from this match will be the excellent bowling by the Indians. This is by far the best bowling attack India has had for many years and that too without their two bowling spearheads Zaheer and RP Singh. If the batting can come good as well, then India will be a formidable unit. They will have another shy at the Lankans in the first day match of the tournament in a day''s time. Till then it is good bye and good night from all of us. Adios...
