Australia strike twice as India grind

Australia chipped away with two wickets on the final morning in Delhi but a draw still loomed as the most likely outcome with two sessions left. Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee both made inroads into a defensive India batting line-up but the home side's advantage of 135 runs meant Australia would need to spark a quick collapse to give themselves time for a realistic chase.
They had clearly not given up on the idea, though. Michael Clarke tried to probe into the footmarks, the fast men found hints of swing and the fielders maintained their enthusiasm after the batsman had all but saved the match over the previous two days.
