Dhoni dismissal pegs India back

James Pattinson struck a lethal blow, removing MS Dhoni as India were stifled by Australia in what has been a closely fought Test match at the Kotla. IND: 210/6

Australia will begin the final day looking to avoid an embarrassing defeat to India in the third Test at the end of a humiliating week.
The depleted tourists, who are without Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson, Usman Khawaja and James Pattinson after they fell foul of coach Mickey Arthur, trailed by 16 runs with seven second-innings wickets remaining at stumps on day four in Mohali
Huge centuries by openers Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan put the hosts on top and, despite Peter Siddle taking five for 71, Virat Kohli's unbeaten half-century saw them to 499, a first-innings lead of 91.
