A day's play matching the hype, tides turned both ways and rested on equal terms. Indians, wicket less in helpful conditions in first hour, got a lucky rain break of 5 odd minutes which allowed them to re-think their strategy and Umesh Yadav got two wickets in two overs. Under fire Ricky Ponting, with debutant Ed Cowan, added valuable 113 runs to bring home team back into the match but Yadav made the break-through yet again and then Zaheer Khan ate up both the Michaels off back to back balls to put visitors on top again. Peter Siddle and Brad Haddin made good recovery before stumps were drawn for the day.Scorecard updated : at end of day 1 at Melbourne | Live scorecard.
