Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin gave a spectacular rearguard response to help India overcome Nathan Lyon's spin masterclass as the hosts nearly matched Australia's first-innings 263 on a dramatic day two of the second test on Saturday.
Earlier, having bowled out Australia for a modest total on Friday, India were in cruise control at 46 for no loss before Lyon turned the match on its head.Australia blew all three reviews inside 25 overs but Lyon, leading the tourists' three-pronged spin attack, kept chipping away at India's top order.
Pujara could not make the most of the reprieve though as Lyon, in his next over, struck a double blow. Todd Murphy removed Jadeja for 26 but debutant Matt Kuhnemann dealt a bigger blow when he trapped Kohli lbw for his maiden test wicket.
