The fall of Adam Gilchrist's wicket with just six runs on the board brought Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden together. If India thought their early success was a sign of things to come they were forced to think again. Coming off a lean trot, Ricky Ponting played carefully, sensibly and flowered in the company of Matthew Hayden. The pair blunted the Indian bowling spinners and pacemen alike and put together a mammoth 219 partnership for the second wicket.
