Day 5: Adam Gilchrist is given an emotional tribute as he heads out for his final day of Test action Rahul Dravid fails to add to his overnight 11 before being struck on the finger by Brett Lee, forcing him off the field Sachin Tendulkar's final Test innings in Australia comes to an unfortunate end as he is run out by Mitchell Johnson for 13 Gilchrist is now looking forward to spending time with his family after calling time on his 12-year international career Day 4: Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke patiently hit centuries but the Australia skipper needs treatment for back spasms Adam Gilchrist receives a standing ovation to and from the wicket but manages only 14 in probably his last Test innings Proceedings are briefly interrupted by a man wearing a monkey mask but he is soon led away by security personnel Irfan Pathan and Ishant Sharma end with three wickets each as the Aussies lose 6-73 to be out for 563 - a lead of 37 Day 3: More glorious weather at the Adelaide Oval for Australia Day and Republic Day in India Phil Jaques is bowled attempting to sweep Anil Kumble but India find wickets hard to come by Hayden is the first left-handed opening batsman to score 30 Test centuries and he celebrates in extravagant fashion Irfan Pathan produces an exceptional delivery to dislodge Michael Hussey but India generally have little to cheer Day 2: Another large crowd in the Adelaide sun, and all colours and creeds are present for the resumption of play Brett Lee fears it will one of those days as Sachin Tendulkar continues in fine fluent form and reaches his 150 But Tendulkar finally departs for a sublime 153 and Australia sense a quick conclusion to the India innings Anil Kumble has other ideas, and after being dropped first ball he plays a key innings for his team Adam Gilchrist sets a new record for wicket-keeping dismissals as India are finally dismissed for 526 just after tea Day 1: Irfan Pathan is promoted to open as India win the toss but falls cheaply and must do as the sign says Dropped by Adam Gilchrist on 37, VVS Laxman makes 51 and shares in a key stand with the sublime Sachin Tendulkar Tendulkar acknowledges all quarters and beyond as he reaches his 39th Test century Gilchrist drops a sitter off Brett Lee but it is soon all smiles as the pair combine to dismiss Laxman
