India appear to be on course to take a 3-1 lead against Australia at the half way stage of the 4th One Day International in Mohali.

Australia made a great start to their innings and appeared to be on course for a huge total but India's brilliant fielding and accurate bowling pegged the visitors back.

Cameron white top scored for Australia with a well made 62 while skipper Ricky Ponting made 52 before he was brilliantly run out.

The tourists were eventually bowled out for 250, in the last over of their innings.

India have been playing some very good One Day cricket in recent times and should they win this game, they will then over take Australia and become the new World Number 1 team in One Day Cricket.

Australia were dealt a huge blow last week when it was announced that their premier pace bowler Brett Lee has been ruled out of the rest of the series due to an elbow injury. It is hard to see Australia upsetting the Odds and winning the series.
