Hyderabad: Openers Virender Sehwag and Murali Vijay safely negotiated the three overs after Australia declared their innings at 237/9 the fag end of the first day of the second Test in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja bowled magical spells after tea to leave Australia in tatters before they declared their innings at 237 for 9 on the first day of the second Test.
Ravindra Jadeja picked up the wickets of Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell and skipper Michael Clarke in quick succession to leave Australia in deep trouble.
On the other hand, Harbhajan, in his mission to justify his return to the Indian team, picked up the wickets of Matthew Wade and Peter Siddle.
The Australians were forced to declare right after Clarke (91) failed to withstand the aggressive approach of Jadeja, whose swinging delivery found the stumps with ease.
Maxwell's (5) debut just lasted for 22 balls as Jadeja's good length ball proved too good for him to play and Indian skipper MS Dhoni made no mistake behind the stumps to take the catch.
Before that, Jadeja dismissed Moises Henriques when his swinging delivery left Henriques (5) completely mesmerized, who in his attempt to defend the ball was clean bowled, leaving Australia in a gloomier position.
Earlier, Harbhajan Singh gave India a breakthrough when he broke the partnership between skipper Michael Clarke and Matthew Wade by dismissing the latter after tea.
Clarke and Wade put an impressive 145-run partnership to take Australia past the 200-run mark when Clarke continued his rich vein of form.
The Oz skipper rescued the visitors from a precarious position with a responsible half-century and along with Wade helped Australia reached 187 for four at tea, after being reduced to 63 for four during the first session of play.
If the opening session belonged to India, who sent back four top-order Australian batsmen back to the hut, the post-lunch session undoubtedly belonged to the Aussie pair of Clarke and Wade, who put on 124 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket stand.
Earlier, with suitable help from a strip that is offering variable bounce, talented UP seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar rocked the Australian top-order with a triple-strike in his first spell removing openers David Warner and Ed Cowan along with the dangerous Shane Watson.
