Hilfenhaus haul has first test in balance

BEN Hilfenhaus took three wickets in the final session on the fourth day to leave India reeling at 55 for four in pursuit of 216 to win the first cricket test against Australia yesterday.

Hilfenhaus dismissed Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina in taking 3-22 in seven overs to turn the match in Mohali on its head after Indian pacers Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan skittled the tourists for 192 in their second innings. Australia, which had a slender 23-run first-innings lead, resumed on a positive note but Sharma removed three top order batsmen in the morning and Khan, who took five wickets in the first innings, mowed down the lower order to put India in command. Shane Watson top-scored for Australia with a 59-ball 56.
