Perth, January 18:: 51-run ninth-wicket stand with Rudra Pratap Singh to push the final target past 400.

The Australian fast bowlers had to toil hard for their wickets on another hot day at the WACA. Stuart Clark captured four wickets, Brett Lee got three and Mitchell Johnson one, while all-rounder Andrew Symonds collected two in one over when he gave up bowling medium pace and switched to off-spin.

Nightwatchman Pathan frustrated the Australians with bat and ball. He occupied the crease for two hours in scoring 46, while Dhoni made an adventurous 38 that featured two huge sixes and RP Singh made a useful 30 to keep the tail wagging.
