India back in control

Battling half-centuries from captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh put India back in the driving seat on day four of the fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia.

Dhoni and Harbhajan wrested control after medium-pacer Shane Watson and debutant off-spinner Jason Krejza each claimed two wickets in quick succession after lunch to raise Australia's hopes of claiming the victory they need to draw the series 1-1.

The hosts were eventually bowled out for 295 in their second innings, leaving Australia chasing a victory target of 382.

They had moved on to 13 without loss at stumps with openers Matthew Hayden (5 not out) and Simon Katich (8no) hoping to give the tourists a solid foundation on the final day.
