Third ODI: Aus overcome Yuvraj heroics for victory

Symonds hit five sixes and five fours and put on a rapid 123-run fourth-wicket partnership with Michael Clarke (59) after opening batsman Matthew Hayden contributed 60.

Yuvraj revived the innings after strike bowler Brett Lee struck two early blows to reduce it to 13 for three, adding 95 runs with Sachin Tendulkar (43) for the fourth wicket and then a racy 65 with skipper Mahendra Dhoni but both fell at crucial moments.

The left-hander hit three sixes and 12 fours to keep Indian hopes alive until he became the eighth batsman out.

The next game will be played in Chandigarh on Monday.
