Having said all that, India still have a long way to go in this game. Australia are still in a really strong position. They would be eager to bowl out India as soon as possible this morning and then take it from there. Meanwhile, Nitish would be eyeing to score quickly with the No. 11 around him and reduce India’s deficit further. There are no demons on this surface with the ball coming on nicely to the bat. The weather forecast for today looks good. Expect another exhilarating day of Test cricket!

Adam Gilchrist is interviewing Nitish Kumar Reddy's dad in the crowd: For our family, it's a special day and we cannot forget this day in our life. He has been performing well since the age group of 14-15 and now in international cricket, it's a very special feeling. (On what were his emotions when Nitish was on 99 with one one wicket remaining) I was very tensed. Only the last wicket was remaining.
