Starting the second innings, Matthew Hayden (5) made a 13 runs partnership with another opener Phil Jaques (8) playing 5 overs after tourists were dismissed.

Neither MS Dhoni nor Anil Kumble could show any impressive performance. Both they got out scoring 2 runs. Harbhajan Singh played an impressive performance and took his third fifty. He also made a 129 runs partnership with Sachin Tendulkar in eight wicket that helped Indian batting great to claim his 38th Test century.
