Day 1: Australia bat first in the traditional Melbourne Boxing Day Test, and Matthew Hayden hits a majestic 124



Australia remain in control, reaching 213-3 at tea, before Anil Kumble gets stuck in - here Michael Hussey is out lbw



India captain Kumble has a day to remember, the experienced leg-spinner taking 5-84, as Australia close on 337-9



Day 2: With Australia all out for 343, the home side's bowlers strike back, leaving India on an uncertain 31-2 at lunch



Sachin Tendulkar, bringing some good form into the match, hits 62, but there is not enough support from others



Brett Lee has the last laugh, picking up the last two wickets as India are all out for 196, trailing by 147 at the MCG



Day 3: Michael Clarke extends Australia's sizeable advantage with an assured 73, effectively batting India out of the match



Zaheer Khan's celebrations are soon cut short as umpire Billy Bowden signals a no-ball handing Andrew Symonds a reprieve



Australia declare on 351-7 and India are faced with eight overs to negotiate before stumps - they survive on 6-0




Day three: Andrew Symonds ends a dogged Rahul Dravid knock just before lunch, with India 54-2 needing 499 to win




Brad Hogg snares Yuvraj Singh and Sourav Ganguly either side of tea as the Aussies press for victory




And after an indifferent performance, Mitchell Johnson's three late wickets give Australia a 337-run victory
