Phillip Hughes was the unlikely saviour after another mixed day for Australia had them hanging on for dear life at stumps on day four of the fourth Test in Mohali.

3rd Test - Punjab Cricket Association Stadium

14 March 2013 - Day 4, Session 3

Australia 2nd Innings

P. Hughes	53	68	9	1	77.94
N. Lyon	4	17	1	0	23.53
R. Ashwin	7	2	25	0	3.57

The tourists finished play on 3-75, with Nathan Lyon (4 not out) joining Hughes (53 not out) at the crease as a nightwatchman after Steve Smith (5) fell late in the final session.

Smith and Hughes were elevated up the order due to what is apparently a back injury to skipper Michael Clarke, who had several stints off the field while Australia were bowling.

The Aussies were buoyant after bowling India out for 499, a lead of 91 runs, but that joy quickly disappeared after David Warner was out caught behind from the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first over of the innings.

Kumar also picked up the wicket of Ed Cowan (8).

Earlier, Murali Vijay brought up his second century in as many matches after emerging from the shadow of fellow opener Shikhar Dhawan, who fell to Nathan Lyon in the second over of the day.

Vijay was eventually removed by Mitchell Starc, and the Aussie left-armer also picked up the wicket of MS Dhoni in the same over.

The hero with the ball for Australia was Peter Siddle, who finished with figures of 5-71, while part-timer Steve Smith picked up the big wicket of Sachin Tendulkar.

More to come...
