Quick wickets give Australia hope
Shane Watson and Jason Krejza each claimed two wickets in quick succession as the momentum swung Australia's way in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaksar series against India.
India openers Virender Sehwag and Murali Vijay had all but shut the door on the visitors with a 116-run stand for the opening wicket when Watson sent Vijay back for 41. But Watson snaffled Rahul Dravid for three and Brett Lee had Sehwag caught down the leg-side for 92, the quick dismissals offering the visitors a glimmer of hope.
Off-spinner Jason Krejza then removed VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly off successive deliveries - the latter going for a first-ball duck in his final innings in Test cricket - and Sachin Tendulkar was run out in the final over before tea as India slumped to 166 for six. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was batting on three, India taking their overall lead to just 252.
