His blond spikes all but obscured by three happy teammates, Brett Lee removes Virender Sehwag with the 13th ball of the third Test Australia, having lost the toss, are definitely on top once Mitchell Johnson has Rahul Dravid caught in the slips With the scoreboard on 27-2, it's nervous watching for the likes of India paceman Ishant Sharma After India recover to 67-2 at lunch, Ricky Ponting and Brett Lee show that rumours of tension between the two of them are misguided But India seize the upper hand as Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar pile on the runs between lunch and tea All the focus is on the left-handed Gambhir as the local man homes in on his first Test century in Delhi And he does not disappoint the crowd; after racing through the 90s he hits Shane Watson for a huge six to bring up the century Gambhir shares the moment with VVS Laxman, who settles into an extremely useful innings himself as the Aussies toil There's an unpleasant exchange between Gambhir and Simon Katich before stumps are drawn with the score on 296-3
