The evening session on the fourth day of the third Ashes Test: England make the vital breakthrough while searching for the victory which would take them 2-0 clear in the series, sending Simon Katich back to the pavilion for just 26. With only 47 runs on the board, Ricky Ponting - the Australian captain - strolls out to the pitch with his usual air of confidence, however this time he makes the long walk out to the middle surrounded by something entirely different: resounding boos. Ostensibly, Ponting's brief stay at the crease - in which he amassed a meager five runs - was not to be memorable, but the antics surrounding his arrival, and subsequent exit, would not be quickly forgotten.

Symonds to be sent home from World Twenty20
MELBOURNE: Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds is being sent home from the Twenty20 World Cup in England for another off-field Symonds incident relating to alcohol.
Symonds has a history of off-field problems dating back to Australia's last tour to England in 2005, when he was banned for two matches after arriving drunk to a limited-overs international.
Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland confirmed Symonds' latest breach of the team rules was alcohol related and that his contract was subject to review.
"In isolation the breaches that I am talking about are not serious, but in the scheme of things, in the scheme of history, they are enough for it to be the final straw," Sutherland told reporters in Melbourne.
The latest incidents were not specified, with Sutherland not drawn on whether police were involved. It was reported Symonds attended a dinner at a Kensington hotel with the Australian squad on Wednesday night.
"In the last 24-48 hours he has broken a number of team rules," Sutherland said. "In the context of commitments Andrew has made to his teammates and to Cricket Australia in the last six months, it's the last straw. Unfortunately, it's a constant balancing act and it's just tipped too far today.
"Andrew is very disappointed and understandably upset. I'm disappointed in Andrew and I'm disappointed for Andrew. I'm quite sad about it."
Australia are due to play the West Indies on Saturday in their opening match of the Twenty20 World Cup.
The last time Australia lost a key player for a disciplinary issue on the eve of a major tournament, it was Symonds who came to the rescue.
He scored an unbeaten 143 from 125 balls against Pakistan in Australia's opening win at the 2003 World Cup, not long after star leg-spinner Shane Warne was suspended for a doping violation after testing positive to a diuretic.
It was Symonds' maiden ODI century after 55 matches and turned his international career.
An aggressive stroke player and renowned match winner, Symonds has been an integral part of Australia's limited-overs squad since 2003 and will be sorely missed in the World Twenty20. He has helped Australia win two World Cups in the 50-over format.
He averages almost 40 at an impressive strike rate of 92.44 in 198 limited-overs internationals and is ideally suited to the T20 format, where he averages 48.14 in 14 international matches.
Symonds played the last of his 26 Test matches in December, when he started treatment for an injured knee. He returned to the ODI squad in a series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates last month. He also played an important role in Deccan Chargers' recent win in the Indian Premier League in South Africa.
Symonds will turn 34 next week and selectors national demonstrated some frustration with him last month when they omitted him from the squad for the five-Test Ashes series in England which follows the T20 World Cup.
Symonds was last month offered a Cricket Australia contract for the 2009-10 season, but Sutherland has told him "we would take that offer off the table at this stage and reconsider our position."
The past 18 months have been the most tumultuous of Symonds' career. In January 2008 he was at the center of the "monkeygate" scandal in the home series against India, when he accused Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh of making racist remarks to him.
Symonds was dissatisfied at Cricket Australia's response in the ensuing investigation. He missed the return tour to India after going fishing rather than attending a team meeting ahead of a limited-overs series against Bangladesh in September.
The big-hitting all-rounder was ordered to undergo counseling before being eligible for selection again, and won a recall for the series against New Zealand in November.
Symonds was only one Test into his comeback when he was subjected to an investigation following reports of a bar fight in Brisbane with a drunken fan. He was cleared of that charge but fined again in January for making derogatory comments about a New Zealand player in a radio interview, when he was allegedly drunk.
He has admitted to struggling with alcohol.

Yuvraj Singh in MVP race with Virender Sehwag
Yuvraj Singh was the most valuable player (MVP) in the recently-concluded Sri Lanka - India ODI series, but Virender Sehwag continues to be India's most valuable ODI player so far in the 2008-09 season.
The MVP index (MVPI) is calculated based on the assumption that, in ODI cricket, batsmen offer the best value if they score a lot of runs with good strike rates; bowlers if they take a lot of wickets at good (low) economy rates and fielders if they take the most catches or make the most run outs. The MVPI collapses the player's all-round performance into a single 'run equivalent'.
Kumar Sangakkara (MVPI = 318) is the only Sri Lankan to figure in the top five, in a series that saw dominating performances from Yuvraj, Dhoni , Sehwag and Gambhir.
It is especially interesting to note that Ishant Sharma took the most wickets (10) in the ODI series; one tends to think of Ishant more as a top Test match bowler.
Sachin Tendulkar , who was India's most valuable ODI player last season, is at the bottom of the list after being a victim of three poor umpiring decisions. It's unlikely that something like this will ever happen again. For more info please click here

India eye series whitewash
Having achieved their best-ever ODI ranking by displacing world champions Australia as the number two team, a confident India would be eyeing a series whitewash when they take on Sri Lanka in the final cricket one-dayer in Colombo on Sunday.
It has already turned out to be a dream series for Mahendra Singh Dhoni , who made it to the record books by becoming the first Indian captain to win nine ODIs on the trot and the flamboyant wicket-keeper batsman would like to keep the winning momentum going in the last game.
The other thing which will be in Dhoni's mind when he takes the field is that every win from here on will bring his side one step closer to the world number one position, which is being currently occupied by South Africa (125) with a lead of just three points.
And coach Gary Kirstein had no hesitation in admitting that his main aim this year is to take India to the top position.
"Getting to number one is the obvious goal this year, but You just can't think you have won the series 4-0 and be complacent in the next game.
"It doesn't happen with us. When you go onto the field you go to win and not just compete. Great teams are those that carry the momentum forward into every game," Kirsten said.
The Indians have been phenomenal in all departments of the game in the series as compared to the hosts who were rather disappointing.
While Sachin Tendulkar , Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag provide aggression at the top of the order, the likes of Yuvraj Singh , Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan and Dhoni have been rock steady at the middle.
The bowlers, on the other hand, have been disciplined all through the series.
Interestingly, the most heartening thing to see was the success of young spinner Pragyan Ojha and part-time bowlers in Yuvraj, Raina, Sehwag and Yousuf.
Zaheer Khan , Ishant Sharma and Praveen Kumar have been outstanding upfront. Irfan Pathan , who made a comeback in the last match, too joined the party, picking up three wickets.
Faced with the prospect of an embarassing a 0-5 whitewash, a demoralised Sri Lanka will look to salvage some pride before the home crowd in the last match of the series.
The hosts, who are playing non-stop cricket for five months, seemed to have forgotten their basics against the mighty Indians.
The Lankans have floundered in every department of the game. If their batting and bowling has been below par, their fielding has been dreadful.
Without veteran Chaminda Vaas , the Lankan pace attack looked clueless. Nuwan Kulasekera, Thilan Thushara and Dilhara Fernando lacked sting in their bowling.
The biggest disappointment, however, has been the performance of spin duo of Muttiah Muralitharan and mystery man Ajantha Mendis .
Although Murali created history in the last match by becoming the highest wicket-taker in one-day cricket, he had to toil hard to achieve the feat which gives a clear idea of his bad patch.
He never looked threatening as Indian batsmen negotiated the spin wizard with ease.
Mendis, on the other hand, seemed to have run out of ideas and looked predictable before the rampaging Indians that forced Mahela Jayawardena to drop the Armyman from the last encounter.
For Dhoni and Co, there are no major worries and it remains to be seen whether some more senior players are rested or not for Sunday's match to make way for reserve players like Ravindra Jadeja who will make his debut if selected.
After taking a break in the last match, Sachin Tendulkar is expected to return to make amends for the dubious umpiring decisions which he received in the first three matches of the series.
Teams:
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt and wk), Gautam Gambhir, Ravindra Jadeja, Zaheer Khan, Praveen Kumar, Pragyan Ojha, Munaf Patel , Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Suresh Raina, Virender Sehwag, Ishant Sharma, Rohit Sharma , Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh.
Sri Lanka: Mahela Jaywardene (capt), Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Sanath Jayasuriya , Upul Tharanga, Chamara Kapugedera , Jehan Mubarak, Tillakaratne Dilshan , Thilina Kandamby, Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis, Farveez Maharoof, Dilhara Fernando, Nuwan Kulasekera, Thilina Thushara and Angelo Mathews.

Gambhir century puts India in control
Opener Gautam Gambhir hit his third century in four Tests to lead India to 179 for 1 on a truncated first day in the second and final Test against England on Friday.
The in-form Gambhir struck 106 not out and added 173 runs for the second wicket with Rahul Dravid to lift the hosts out of early trouble after skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni elected to bat in overcast conditions.
Dravid shook off his poor form by scoring an unbeaten 65 after opener Virender Sehwag fell to Stuart Broad for a third-ball duck in the morning's second over.
The diminutive Gambhir struck 12 fours and a straight six against off spinner Graeme Swann, reaching his hundred after tea.
Play was called off with 18 overs remaining because of poor light, which had also delayed the start by 20 minutes.
Gambhir had scored a match-winning 104 in the second Test against Australia at Mohali in October and 206 in the drawn third Test in New Delhi.
He then made 66 in Chennai, after sitting out the last Test against Australia due to a disciplinary ban. India won that series 2-0.
England, demoralised by their six-wicket defeat in the first Test in Chennai after India achieved the fourth-highest run chasing a target of 387, failed to build on a promising start, often bowling too short.
EARLY ESCAPE
Gambhir survived a leg before appeal off James Anderson's first ball of the day but drove the next past cover for four before quickly settling down.
Broad, 22, replaced the off-colour Steve Harmison after recovering from a hamstring injury, and bowled a superb first spell of pace, swing and control.
He beat Sehwag, who hit a blazing 83 to trigger India's run chase in Chennai, with movement before inducing him to edge a swinging delivery to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
Gambhir and Dravid, who made three and four in the first Test to prolong a poor run of form, saw off the testing morning spells by Anderson, Broad and Andrew Flintoff to guide the team to 51 for one at lunch.
Gambhir, 27, audaciously flicked over the slip cordon for fours against Anderson and Broad after lunch as England lost their momentum.
Only Swann, who took two wickets in his first over on Test debut in Chennai, created chances as left-arm Monty Panesar, under fire for his poor first test showing, failed to impress.
However, Swann was unlucky not to dismiss Gambhir.
Slip fielder Paul Collingwood could only get his finger tips to a thick edge when he was on 70 and two runs later the umpire turned down a confident leg before appeal.
Dravid swung Anderson to square leg for four in the morning, his first boundary in five innings, and has hit seven fours in his 205-ball effort.

West Indies pull level in first Test
West Indian openers Chris Gayle and Sewnarine Chattergoon survived a tricky session just before stumps to draw even with New Zealand after the third day of the rain-affected opening Test in Dunedin on Saturday.
West Indies finished the day at 39 without loss in reply to New Zealand's first innings total of 365.
Gayle was not out on 29 with a shaky-looking Chattergoon lucky to still be there on nine after a number of near-misses and a desperately close leg before wicket decision in his favour.
West Indies' pace attack had earlier bowled with aggression and discipline to restrict New Zealand, who had started the day at 226 for four and were looking for a big total to force an unlikely result.
Play was disrupted by a waterlogged pitch but eventually got underway, with New Zealand batsmen Jesse Ryder and Brendon McCullum looked untroubled against the West Indies seamers.
But with the ball not moving at all, Gayle eventually opted to take the new ball, with immediate results.
Fast bowler Jerome Taylor got a good length ball to move slightly away from McCullum (25), who edged a simple catch to wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin.
FIERY SPELL
Edwards was in the middle of a fiery spell and had James Franklin (7) in some trouble, hitting him on the ribs with a short ball and then forcing a miscue off the gloves.
In his next over Franklin went back and turned a ball around the corner, but slipped over in the process and hit the stumps with his legs, giving Edwards his first wicket.
Ryder then threw away a chance of a maiden Test century when on 89, he pulled a short ball from Daren Powell straight to Shivnarine Chanderpaul at midwicket to leave New Zealand at 311 for six.
Daniel Vettori (30) and Kyle Mills saw New Zealand safely to tea and after the break Vettori came out firing, smashing three boundaries in the first two overs.
But Powell got his revenge when he enticed Vettori into a lofted cut shot, guiding the ball straight to Xavier Marshall at deep cover for a straightforward catch.
Mills (12) and Mark Gillespie (16 not out) added 20 runs before West Indies got their second dismissal of the match via an appeal to the third umpire.
English umpire Mark Benson turned down an lbw appeal. Gayle asked for a referral to third umpire Rudi Koertzen , who overturned the original decision.
Edwards then wrapped up the innings when he bounced out No.11 Ian O'Brien, peppering the New Zealand tailender with a series of short balls until O'Brien popped one up in the air to the bowler on his follow through.
Gayle and Chattergoon were then faced with an awkward hour in the fading light.
Chattergoon looked particularly uncomfortable against the aggressive Gillespie, playing and missing on numerous occasions.
