Australia in control as Tendulkar falls

Australia marched towards victory as India found it hard to get going in an attempt to chase an enormous 499 on the fourth day of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.Resuming on an overnight six without loss, India limped to 56-2 at lunch, adding 50 runs in two hours of play as openers Wasim Jaffer and Rahul Dravid saw the first innings repeat itself.Australia continued their domination with their pace battery making life difficult for the Indian batsmen. Brett Lee was hostile in the second session as he out-thought Sachin Tendulkar as the batsman was lured into a rash drive outside off-stump after making 15.Third time lucky would be an apt judgement when Wasim Jaffer nicked one off Brett Lee off a no-ball. But his dismissal a couple of deliveries later summed up the task ahead of India, of overhauling the highest ever fourth innings target.Adam Gilchrist's catch in the morning session took him over Ian Healy Australian record with 396 Test dismissals.By the time Dravid had faced the same amount of balls he did in the first innings, he had scored twice as many runs. However, his struggle to get the scoreboard ticking again proved to be his downfall at the stroke of lunch, after having absorbed 114 balls for his 16.
