Though Australia are staring at defeat, debutant Moises Henriques, who struck his second half-century of the match on a difficult Chepauk pitch doesn’t have a problem about India offering turning tracks. He urged his teammates to enjoy the challenge of playing on such conditions.

Henriques-Nathan Lyon’s unbeaten 57-run stand took Australia to 232 for nine in the second innings, giving the visitors a slender lead of 40 runs going into the last day.
