Ind vs Aus Live score: Oz peg India back with Dravid's wicket

Rahul Dravid was the second Indian batsman to fall, bowled by Ben Hilfenhaus at a score of 29 runs as the scorecard read 100/2.

Meanwhile, opener Gautam Gambhir revived himself by scoring a well-timed quickfire half-century. Gambhir, who has not been scoring runs, was under tremendous pressure before this innings.

Gambhir’s 50 came off 55 balls with the help of 8 fours.

India’s Sydney woes had deepened when opener Virender Sehwag threw his wickets away early on after India had conceded a huge lead of 468.

Sehwag slashed a short ball from Hilfenhaus straight to extra-cover where David Warner latched on to a fine diving catch. The Delhi opener made only 4.

India went to tea at 53/1 with Gambhir batting confidently on 39 while Rahul Dravid playing supporting role on 3.

Earlier, skipper Michael Clarke scored an unbeaten triple ton while Hussey scored an unconquered century to guide Australia declare their first innings at a huge 659/4 in reply to India's 191 on the Day 3 of the Sydney Test on Thursday.

Michael Clarke and Mike Hussey remained unbeaten on 329 and 150, respectively. They stitched an unbeaten mammoth 4th wicket partnership of 334 to give Australia a huge lead of 468 runs.

Clarke started the Day 3 where he left off yesterday. The Australian captain became the only sixth Australian to score a triple century in Test cricket when he slammed a triple ton against India immediately after the lunch on Day 3 of the 2nd Test at Sydney.

Clarke’s knock, which was also the highest individual score at SCG, was also the best innings by an Australian captain at home, surpassing Don Bradman's 270 at the MCG in 1937.

The marathon innings came off 468 balls and it was consisted of 39 fours and a six.

Mike Hussey also joined the Australian run-feast by scoring a superlative century. It was Hussey who was more aggressive of the two, hitting boundaries off the flighted balls provided by the Indian spinners. Hussey’s 16th Test ton came from 188 balls. He hit 11 silken fours and a six to reach the century.

While everybody was concentrating on Clarke’s triple ton, Hussey was silently moving fast. He reached 150 in no time. And once he reached the milestone, Clarke declared the innings exactly one hour after the lunch break with a lead of 468 runs.

It was the same story in the morning session on Day 3 of the Sydney Test. Resuming on 482/4, Australia dominated the first session again. The two overnight batsmen- captain Michael Clarke and Mike Hussey- had no problem in plundering runs against a hapless Indian bowling.
