Michael Hussey compiled an excellent one-day innings of 73 to build on Ricky Ponting's solid platform as Australia fought off an Indian revival to post 292 for 8 in Vadodara. Four Australians reached half-centuries and it was enough to set India a challenging target despite the batting Powerplay working to India's advantage late in the innings.

Ponting, Hussey, Cameron White and Tim Paine all posted half-centuries but India's bowlers ensured none of them went on to triple figures. Hussey's confidence was key in ensuring the good start was not wasted and in a typically anonymous, accumulating style he compiled his 73 from 54 balls.

Hussey pierced the field several times for boundaries in the final overs and, while he generally took few risks, an enormous straight six off Praveen Kumar in the penultimate over resulted in a lost ball. In the final over he sent a catch down deep midwicket's throat as Ishant Sharma delivered a brilliant 50th over that brought two wickets for one run and could yet prove a turning point.

Hussey ticked the score over with hard running but Australia were disappointed with a result of 3 for 33 from their batting Powerplay, which began in the 43rd over with Hussey and White well set. White had started to find the middle of the bat - a clean six over long-on from Suresh Raina's only over was his highlight - but skied the second ball of the Powerplay and was caught off Ashish Nehra for 51.

Adam Voges holed out to deep midwicket off Harbhajan Singh and James Hopes was run out in a horrible mix-up with Hussey, whose calling has been questionable in the past few months, to leave Australia slightly adrift of what could have been a bigger score. The Hussey-White partnership had been worth 76 and continued on the solid platform built by Ponting and Paine.

They combined for a 97-run second-wicket partnership that proved batting first was not a problem despite the early-morning start. Ponting was fierce against the fast men and his highlights included a crunching, aerial straight drive for four off Ishant and a top-edged six when he advanced at Praveen Kumar and hooked a bouncer.

Praveen felt the brunt of Ponting's form and was dispatched for consecutive boundaries through midwicket and then punched through cover. Ponting also enjoyed facing the spinners and launched Ravindra Jadeja over long-off for a six that was parried over the boundary by Nehra, who slightly misjudged the catch opportunity.

Jadeja eventually had his revenge when Ponting, on 74, played back to a delivery that straightened and was trapped in front of middle stump. For much of his innings Ponting had the assistance of Paine, who kept his position as opener despite the presence of Shaun Marsh in the squad.

Paine was particularly strong off his pads, flicking over and through the on-side field whenever the fast men bowled too straight. He was caught behind for 50 trying to cut a wide ball from Ishant, who along with Nehra in the early stages was particularly impressive and bowled full enough to allow the ball to swing.

Nehra had made the initial breakthrough in the second over, when there was some movement in the air, and he had Shane Watson adjudged lbw for 5. Watson was given out by umpire Shavir Tarapore, one of two Indian officials on the field after the English umpire Mark Benson missed the match due to illness.more crickinfo.com

"265{Wasim Jaffer and Abhinav Mukund} highest run partnership in the Challenger Trophy"

live Scorecard and live cricket detail infromation

Jaffer top-scored with a run-a-ball 143 and Mukund continued his amazing run of form with 114 as Red put up a mammoth total of 351 for 2. After Tanmay Srivastava and Srikkanth Anirudha added a century opening stand in good time, Red meandered without much purpose and ended up with 263 for 9.

After Blue opted to bat, Mukund and Jaffer played out the first four overs quietly. In the fifth, bowled by Vikramjeet Malik, they took 18 and increased the rate from there on. Dhawal Kulkarni, who began very tidily, should have had Jaffer on 28 but dropped an easy return catch during a maiden ninth over. Kulkarni lost his line hereon and Jaffer went on to cross his half-century off off 59 balls. Mukund's half-century came up off 71 balls.

The pair batted very well in tandem, taking smart singles and rotating the strike. They maintained a constant run-rate and eased past the 200 mark in the 34th over just after Mukund was put down by Suresh Raina on 80.

When Mukund fell at the end of the 41st over, MS Dhoni strode out and hit a breezy unbeaten 34 from 25 balls, while Yusuf Pathan biffed 34 from 18 to further deflate the attack. Malik, who opened the attack for Green, bore the brunt of the powerful Red batting. His first three overs cost 32, his fourth went for 11, and when he came back for a third spell after 42 overs Dhoni and Pathan took him apart. Malik had the most expensive figures of the innings (7-0-81-0), and none of the overs bowlers, apart from Anirudha, went for less than 5.60.

The chase lost steam after the first 15 overs, at which time Red were 96 for 0. Until here Anirudha led the scoring with 56 from 44 balls, but Harbhajan Singh got him to drag one on soon after. Harbhajan and Yusuf Pathan tied down proceedings well and Srivastava shut shop and appeared content to play out the overs. He was sixth out at 237 for a 133-ball 100, after which Red went on to finish on 263 for 9. Once Anirudha was dismissed there seemed no conscious effort to even attempt to chase down a massive target. cricketmore
