8.22pm I can't tell you how relieved I am that this innings has ended. Ouch, my fingers hurt! I also can't tell you how much I enjoyed that batting performance. Harris & Gardner have given us a sensational exhibition of big-hitting as Australia continue to push boundaries beyond the realms of possibility. At 67 for 4 at the halfway mark you're thinking if India have done really well, and before you let that sink in, these two have absolutely blasted their way through to set Australia up. Make no mistake, India have to bat out of their skins to win this from here. Join Abhimanyu very soon while I take a quick break.

Renuka Singh to Harris, 4 byes, swing and a miss. Deceived her with a slower one, but will still see this run away to the fence because Richa has made a right royal mess behind the stumps. Through her legs.

Vaidya to Gardner, SIX, clears the boundary and into the dressing room straight down the ground. That's very close to where the member's sit and enjoy a nice drink in the evening against the sea breeze. Once again too full from Vaidya, Gardner quick on her feet as she steps out to launch this downtown
