Rohit falls for 43, India lose 6th wicket
December 12, 2014  05:50
 India 399-6 (108 ovs) vs Aus 517-7d | Scorecard

Saha gets the first boundary of the day as Johnson gifts him a full toss which the right-hander eases through the covers to take his score to 10. That went in the air but perfectly in the gap between the fielders on the off-side.

Two balls later he plays it all along the ground through the same region for another four.

First sign of spin on Day 4 as Nathan Lyon comes into the attack, in the ninth over of the day.

Rohit straightaway employs the sweep for a single before Saha steers the fourth ball behind point for a couple and takes a single from the last ball.

Peter Siddle, who bowled just 13 overs on Day 3 after being down with a stomach bug, comes into the attack. Saha drives the fourth ball down the ground for three runs as India reach 394 for five in 107 overs with Rohit on 39 and Saha on 20.

Rohit decides to give Lyon the charge as he lofts him over mid-on for a boundary. But he falls two balls later as he is caught and bowled by Lyon for 43.

Rohit again came down the track and is beaten in the flight as he looks to defend but ends up offering a return catch to Lyon, who does well to take a diving catch on his right.

It must be disappointing for Rohit to have thrown away his wicket after a good start on a wicket full of runs.
