The first one-day international between India and Australia in Bangalore was abandoned due to rain with the tourists in a strong position. The world champions had made 307-7 in their 50 overs and then took an early wicket to reduce India to 9-1 before the weather intervened.
Michael Clarke's career-best 130 was in vain, the 26-year-old having rebuilt the Aussies' innings after Sri Sreesanth had grabbed three wickets. That left Australia on 90-4 in the 17th over, but Clarke and Brad Haddin (69) put on 144 for the fifth wicket to change the course of the match. Clarke was finally run out off the last ball of the innings, having hit 10 fours and three sixes.
