Laxman played another brilliant unbeaten knock of 73 to help India take a 1-0 lead in Mohali, after a disastrous top order collapse in the second Indian innings, chasing 216. Laxman, battling injury and playing with runners in both innings, shared an 81-run partnership for the ninth wicket ensuring India recovered from 124 for 8. Sachin Tendulkar was the second highest Indian scorer with 38 while young Ishant Sharma contributed an invaluable 31 in the Test which went down the wire. Yesterday, the bowlers did a fantastic job pegging back the Australians in the second innings, after the Indian batsmen had conceded a slight lead.
Meanwhile, in the Delhi CWG, after Abhinav Bindra and Gagan Narang kicked off our gold medal hunt with the first gold, Anisa Syyed and Rahi Sarnobat followed with the second in 25m standard pistol pairs event.
Some good victories in badminton and tennis also, Saina/Sania should get us glory too.
Go India Go!
