News from the middle is that Indian skipper Anil Kumble has won the toss and elected to bat first.

For the Aussie though, Stuart Clark makes a return to the playing eleven after recovering from shoulder injury.

A warm welcome and a Happy Diwali to all of you. The caravan moves to Delhi for the penultimate match of the series after all the record-breaking and exciting action in the 2nd Test. Spirits will be sky-high in the committed Indian camp with all their key players in good form. The hosts will look to build on momentum from Mohali and double their series lead to clinch back the coveted Border-Gavaskar Trophy. A fit Indian skipper Anil Kumble returns back to the playing eleven which means an unfortunate Amit Mishra will be benched despite his impressive 7-wicket haul in the previous game. On the other hand, the Aussie will be feeling the heat after their humiliating mauling of 320 runs in the 2nd Test. Discrepancies are already apparent in the tourist's camp with the rumors flying around of spat between Brett Lee and skipper Ponting. But being the World Champions that they are, the 'Baggy Green' team will undoubtedly bounce back hard over the next five days of the Feroz Shah Kotla Test to seek some revenge. Stay tuned for all the action.
