But a useful unbeaten 65-run partnership between Shane Watson and Brad Haddin ensured that Australia finished the day at 193 for five in their second innings, giving a healthy lead of 263 runs on the fourth day of the first Test here at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.
Watson and Haddin began the rescue act and revived the struggling Australian innings which was tottering at 128 for five.

Zaheer went on to score his second half century in Tests to remain unbeaten at 57 to take the Indian tally to a satisfying 360.
