A news report from the last day's play from only the second tied test in cricket history.

Playing in the first test of a series between Australia and India in Madras (now Chennai), Dean Jones famously scored 210 in extremely hot conditions.

The Indian side collapsed on the final day from 6-331 to be all out for 347 with Greg Matthews dramatically taking the final wicket with the scores even.
