| Scorecard


Ashwin bowls a beauty, bowling outside the leg stump and turning big beating Warner who was squared up as he looked to defend, it was similar to his dismissal in the first innings but this time it missed the stumps.

He gets Warner to edge one but it falls short of the fielder at second slip before Ashwin gets another turn big from way outside the leg stump as Warner is beaten again but Saha fails to collect to give away four byes.

In the next over, Ishant makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of the in-form Renshaw, caught behind for five. The ball kicks off quite sharply after pitching on length as it kisses the gloves and wicketkeeper Saha completes an easy catch.

Steve Smith walks across his stumps off the first ball he faces as he is hit on the pads but the huge appeal for confident is turned down with the impact quite high on the pads.

The next ball straightens a bit and Smith is beaten all ends up as he plays down the wrong line and he is lucky not to have edged it. Top stuff from the lanky Ishant Sharma!

Warner decides to try something fancy as he tries the reverse sweep against Ashwin but is beaten. A few deliveries later he looks to sweep as the ball bounces more than expected and he makes a late adjustment and manages to swipe it to deep square leg for one.

Smith wasting no time as he slog sweeps Ashwin through midwicket for a four. He gets a leading edge off the next ball as he closes the face of the bat too early and gets two runs through the covers.
