New Delhi: Ravindra Jadeja gave India a slimmer of hope by claiming three of the remaining four Australian wickets as India bowled out Australia for 276 on Day 3 of second India-Australia Test at Bengaluru. 

Jadeja returned with figures of 6 for 63. 

Resuming at 237 for 6 Australia could only manage 39 runs as Jadeja spun a web around the Aussie tail. 

However, Australia have a crucial 87-run lead on a pitch which is not going to any better.

Marsh (66) and Renshaw (60) scored important half-centuries for the visitors.  For India, Umesh and Ashwin picked a couple wickets each apart from Jadeja’s six wicket-haul.
