It was a hard days toil for the batsman and the bowlers. Both won fair and square, the bat and the ball. The Indian bowlers have to be credited for keeping it tight and straight, not giving away any freebies. Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma kept them quite and Jadeja benefited, being the pick of the Indian bowlers scalping three. David Warner left early and then the rest showed resistance but failed but here is an incidence when Mitchell March was literally sucked into getting foxed by the knowledgeable Chinnaswamy crowd. Watch this video to believe.
Believe it on not, it was the last ball before the tea interval and India were looking for that one more wicket. The score was 162 for 4 at the end of 79 overs. Shaun Marsh was on strike and it was the last over before tea. The second ball straightens and whizzes past the outside edge of Shaun Marsh. One can spot Virat Kohli egging the crowd on. That crowd reacting instantly to their favourite child Virat Kohli. Last ball before tea, Mitchell Marsh is on strike and the decibels of the ground has gone a couple of notches higher. Ishant steams in, bowls a in-dipper, the ball keeps low, Marsh is late on it and gets hit on the pad, the entire stadium goes up in appeal, the umpire raises the finger. India finally had a moment of joy. Australia go into lunch, a session which India had their noses in front. They got rid of the famed Australian middle order.
