Sachin Tendulkar slammed his sixth double hundred as India took a 17-run lead before being dismissed for 495 in their first innings at lunch on the fourth day of the second cricket Test against Australia here on Tuesday.
Tendulkar's 214-run knock helped India wipe out the Australian first innings total of 478 but the match itself seemed headed for a draw.
India lost five wickets during the morning session with debutant Peter George dismissing Tendulkar (214) and Harbhajan Singh (4).
Spinner Nathan Hauritz claimed two wickets -- of Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (30) and S Sreesanth (0) – in his 48th over -- while Watson dismissed Zaheer Khan (1).
Tendulkar was in his elements and duly reached the 200 mark before getting out at 214, which was his sixth double ton in all and second this season after a 200 against South Africa in an ODI in Gwalior
