Hello and a warm welcome to the commentary of the final day of the Bangalore Test. What an exciting day we have in prospect where all the three results are possible. The cards are certainly in the hands of Australia. The tourists will look to approach the declaration within the first hour by setting a 300 plus target. Meanwhile, India will look to rattle quick wickets in the morning session and then the onus is on their experienced batting line-up to either chase down the target or salvage a draw. Stay tuned for the action.
A very interesting day 4 of the Bangalore Test comes to an end. Australia are well placed at 193-5 with a healthy lead of 263 runs. The final session began for the tourists on an ordinary note as India continued to keep the run flow tight and striking at regular intervals. But the young duo Haddin (28*) and Watson (32*) played confidently to share an unbeaten 65-run stand. There were plenty of missed opportunities in the Indian camp today. Join us tomorrow as Australia will look to make a match out of it on the final day. Bye!!!!

Tea has been called on day 4 of the Bangalore Test. It was a very dull session for Australia as they managed to score only 65 runs at the cost of two wickets of Hayden and Ponting. The Indian bowlers were spot on after the Lunch break and never let the scoring get off the hook. The tourists now lead by a tally of 144 runs. Join us back after Tea to see whether the 'Baggy Green' team accelerate their scoring rate in the final session.
