In the third day of the Bengaluru (Bangalore) Test between Indian and Australia, India got off to a horrific start. India found Gambhir and Sehwag back in the pavilion early after strikes from Lee and Mitchel Johnson. Tendulkar and Laxman followed soon after taking Johnson's tally to 3. India was struggling at 106 for 4 when Ganguly walked in. Dravid and Ganguly tried to steady the Indian ship but Dravid was dismissed by Shane Watson after a fighting 51. The scoreboard read 155 for 5. Dhoni soon followed Dravid adding only 9 runs. From 195 for 6 Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh took the score to 232 before Ganguly fell 3 runs short of his half century.
Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh entertained the disappointed crowd by playing shots all over the ground and more importantly helping India recover. The two added 80 runs as Harbhajan helped himself to a handy half century. The hosts ended the day at 313 for 8 recovering from 232 for seven. It's still 117 runs behind the Aussies but the Indian Tail came up with valuable runs. Zaheer stayed not out on 35.
In the first session of the fourth day India added another 47 runs as Zaheer Khan finished undefeated on 57. India are only 70 runs behind the Aussies.
The Aussies extended their lead to 263 runs as they finished 193 for 5 with Watson and Haddin at stumps.
