Tendulkar dragged a Peter George delivery onto his stumps to bring a marathon 214 knock to an end that included 22 fours and a pair of sixes.

Australia then mowed down India’s middle and lower order as the hosts eked out a slender 17-run, first-innings lead.

A single off Ben Hilfenhaus brought up Tendulkar’s second double century against Australia but once he became George’s first Test victim the visitors scythed through India.

Shane Watson dismissed Harbhajan Singh and George got the better of Zaheer Khan, before Nathan Hauritz removed Mahendra Singh Dhoni (30) and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth to bring the Indian innings to an end.
