Sourav Ganguly, resuming on 27 in India's 311-5, hits a lovely straight six off Jason Krejza en route to reaching his half-century Skipper Mahendra Dhoni tries this reverse-sweep off Krejza as he and Ganguly keep the scoreboard ticking over in Nagpur Playing with immense precision in his final Test match, Ganguly reaches lunch on 80, with Dhoni on 43; their stand is worth 101 Despite some good turn and bounce for Krejza, the first session is wicketless and India's total of 404-5 is an imposing one The middle session is all about Krejza, who bowls Dhoni for 46 - collecting his fourth wicket of the innings Michael Clarke's brilliant one-handed slip catch ends Ganguly's innings on 85 two deliveries later as Australia's luck begins to change Krejza also takes the last three wickets to become the sixth man in history to take eight wickets on his Test debut Matthew Hayden is an early casualty in Australia's reply to India's 441 as he finds himself needlessly run out not long before tea And when Ricky Ponting becomes Harbhajan Singh's 300th Test victim with the total on 74, India seem poised to pounce But Australia end the day strongly, closing on 189-2 with an unbroken century partnership between Simon Katich and Mike Hussey
