India wrap up victory

Left-arm paceman Zaheer claimed three wickets in his first two overs as Australia crashed from 141 for five overnight to 144 for eight.

Leg-spinner Amit Mishra completed the rout by picking up the last two wickets as Australia, chasing a target of 516, were eventually bowled out for 195.

Zaheer ended a blossoming partnership between Brad Haddin and Michael Clarke by bowling wicketkeeper Haddin with the last ball of his first over.

Just one run was added to their sixth-wicket stand, already worth 83 overnight, when Haddin (37) was bowled by one which came back slightly off the pitch.

Zaheer struck twice more off consecutive deliveries in his second over, first removing Cameron White (one) and then Brett Lee (nought).

Mitchell Johnson (26) survived the hat-trick ball by playing forward and defending solidly. He briefly held up India's charge, putting on 50 runs with Clarke for the ninth wicket before offering a simple return catch to Mishra.

Clarke, meanwhile, reached his ninth half-century, getting past the mark by scampering through for a couple of runs courtesy of a mis-field in the covers.

He was the last man out attempting to pull Mishra through midwicket where Virender Sehwag pulled off a smart catch.

The third Test starts in Delhi on October 29.
