India lost three gates, including Sachin Tendulkar, despite the excellent batting conditions of the fight to 122 for five at lunch on the third day of the fourth Test against Australia on Thursday.

Full implementation of increasingly willing Drew Tendulkar Australian fast forward and the ball flashed off the bat to take a low catch Ponting at second slip.
Siddle, who was a revelation in this series, struck again in the next over to remove Gambhira for 34 of the brutal keeper, who came off the batsman to bat and shoulder loops in the air before diving catch by Mike Hussey.
Laxman, when the Australian bowling nemesis, lasted until just before lunch, before it had suffered another accident on the route, while Lyon led him to the edge of the ball by wicketkeeper Brad Haddin to.
