1st Test (Radag vs Squiz)

MATCH UPDATE:- Tea Day One
----------------------------------------------
The second session of the days play has been fairly even.
Australia started off slowly but steadily. The Indians then put on Ashish Nehra for a bit and he got hammered around for a bit.

The run rate was climbing up to around 5+ an over and the indians needed something quick.
They brought back on Ajit Agarkar and Harbhjan Singh who had been the best bowlers by far, and it ended up in two wickets, which then in turn brought the run rate right back down again.

---------------------
Australia: 2/214 (54 overs), 3.962 runs per over.

MATCH UPDATE: 62 overs, 4:39pm, Day One
----------------------------------------------------------------
It is now halfway through the last session of the day and those dark clouds are still hanging over the game.
The Australians started this next session poorly.
The lost Martyn for 20 early, from what was most likely Nehra's best ball of the game, and they looked to be struggling a bit.

It took some good patience from Ricky Ponting to get the Australians back into a comanding position.

it is getting towards the end of the session now and the Indians bowlers are looking tired. This should eb a good oportunity for the aussies to put some pressure onto them.
