India and Australia cricket series, 2nd Test, 2nd Day, Session 3, Bangalore
Cricket India recovered after early jolts to finish at 128 for 2 in 34.2 overs by Stumps on the second day's play at Bangalore. Sachin Tendulkar, who crossed 14,000 Test runs today helped India recover along with Murali Vijay by adding 90 runs for the unbroken 3rd wicket partnership. Tendulkar has looked solid with an unbeaten 44 from 88 balls (with 6 fours) while Murali Vijay got dropped at short leg off Hauritz and is lucky to stay unbeaten on 42 from 83 balls (with 4 fours and a six).
The hosts are trailing behind by 350 runs at the close of play. The two wickets that went down were of Virender Sehwag (30 from 28 balls with 4 fours and a six) and Rahul Dravid (1). Sehwag looking in dashing form played a big pull shot off Hilfenhaus in the air and straight into the hands of Johnson at deep backward squareleg in the 9th over. Rahul Dravid played a flashy drive way outside off to edge Mitchell Johnson to North at third slip.

India and Australia cricket online, 2nd Test, 2nd Day, Session 2, Bangalore
Cricket Australia have been bowled out for 478 in 141 overs just at the stroke of Tea on Day 2 at Bangalore. It wasn't the massive first innings total that the Aussies were looking at especially when Marcus North and Tim Paine got stuck into a big partnership. India fought back with two wickets in quick succession after Lunch with Paine and Johnson departing to reduce Australia to 415 for 7.
Tim Paine (59 from 133 balls) was casual in his forward defence to a turning ball from Ojha which he missed and MS Dhoni was quick to effect a stumping. Ojha went onto dismiss Mitchell Johnson for a duck with a sharp turner which hit the back pad in line of the off stump. Marcus North who got past a 5th Test hundred managed to put up a decent partnership with Nathan Hauritz and he fell slog sweeping Harbhajan Singh into the hands of deep mid wicket. North made 128 from 240 balls with 17 fours and a six. Hauritz (17) got out just after him through a brilliant run out from Cheteshwar Pujara who was fielding at gully.
The innings was wrapped up by a doosra from Harbhajan which beat the defences of Peter George and dragged him out of the crease for a stumping. Harbhajan was the highest wicket taker with 4 for 148 in 43 overs.
India and Australia cricket Test Match, 2nd Test, 2nd Day, Morning Session, Bangalore
Australia have been rescued by the unbroken partnership between the two overnight batsmen - Marcus North (81* from 155 balls with 10 fours and a six) and Tim Paine (52* from 113 balls with 8 fours) which has carried the visitors to 384 for 5 in 110 overs. At Lunch on Day 2, the Aussies are heading towards a certain big first innings total which means that they have almost closed the doors of a possible Indian victory.
India could have had one wicket atleast in this morning session when Tim Paine edged a square cut to MS Dhoni but Sreesanth just like Ishant Sharma in the last Test bowled a fatal no-ball! Australia have collected 99 runs in 24.1 overs in this first session.
