Australia eased to another victory over India, this time by seven wickets in Brisbane.
The tourists posted 308-8, with Rohit Sharma once again smashing a century while Ajinkya Rahane weighed in with 89 and Virat Kohli 59.
The Aussies, in truth, made little fuss of knocking off the runs. Their opening partnership was worth 145 and George Bailey was there at the end with his side's top score of 76 not out.
Easy! Full scorecard here.

When you handed over to Tim Peach I thought you were handing over to Tim Peake the astronaut. That would have been an extraordinary feat to have him conduct the live text from space. One day?

You're not the first person to make that mistake, Matthew. I had plenty of good luck tweets on the day he blasted off.

Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special"This is where Test cricket is so much harder than county cricket: everybody in the media will be talking about Alex Hales and his technique."

Jonathan Agnew
BBC Test Match Special"I remember watching Alex Hales during the limited overs stuff in the UAE and he kept edging runs down to third man because there were not any slips in place."
Is Hales up to the pace?published at 11:05
Lots of you are questioning Alex Hales's place in the team at the moment.
He's got 102 runs from his five innings on this tour, including a 60 in the first innings at Cape Town, but the way he gets out has a lot of people concerned.
John Hatch, on email: There are now only three reasons to persist with Hales as an opener:
1. He was promised a decent run.
2. He diverts criticism from Alistair Cook.
3. He protects team morale: no-one is shocked and dismayed when Hales gets out early because they expect it.

BBC Test Match SpecialMore from Matthew Hoggard: "It was down to the last 10 overs and thankfully Dale Steyn nicked it behind.
"I wasn't a person that needed the headline - I knew when I bowled well. It's the team-mates you want the accolades from.
"Michael Vaughan said that I was on the shop floor, cleaning up after the rest of them. That suited me."

When looking through some archive photos of Hoggard's seven wickets at Joburg in 2005, I came across this one.

BBC Test Match SpecialMore from Hoggard: "Graeme Smith banged his head against a cool box in the warm-up and wouldn't open the batting.
"It was just one of those spells where everything I did seemed to work."

BBC Test Match SpecialFormer England pace bowler Matthew Hoggard: "I was there for Atherton's Test. I was the barman in one of the boxes. As a young Englishman watching that, it was brilliant.
"The Bullring was local to me, but I'd never bowled well there until that second innings in 04-05."

"We made it clear that these awards could go to an cricket-minded organisation. Our national performance centre is based at Loughborough so the facilities are excellent and their finances stood out as being strong."

Still to come on Test Match Special, Matthew Hoggard will talk through his outstanding performance as he took seven wickets at Johannesburg in 2005 to help England to a 77-run victory.
If you've got any memories of that match, get in touch in the usual ways.
I was teaching in a school in France at the time, and pretended to have a stomach bug to keep nipping out of lessons to go and check the score on the school computer.
