3rd test 4th day

A fighting century from Michael Clarke gave Australia a strong chance of heading into the final Test with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy still theirs to defend as a draw appeared likely in Delhi. Clarke's 112, his eighth Test hundred, guided Australia to within 36 runs of India's enormous 613 and completed a valiant group response from a side that had been all but batted out of the game within two days.

India's second innings began poorly when an exhausted Virender Sehwag, who had bowled 40 overs and collected five wickets, played on to Brett Lee for 16. The loss of the night-watchman Ishant Sharma, who bunted a Stuart Clark bouncer to the close-in off-side fielder, meant Australia finished the day with the momentum as India closed at 43 for 2.

Hopefully this test will end in a draw. Anyways it's not bad for India except for the sentiments believed about the stadium. Let's hope for the best.
