Watson will be on strike to Mishra who ended up with a wicket yesterday.
Welcome to our coverage of day 3 of the second Test between India and Australia. An interesting day of cricket is on the cards with India who will try to enter the tail. Australia will hope that Hussey will keep the Indian bowlers at bay and try to avoid the follow-on.
India are certainly in the driver's seat at stumps on day 2 of the Mohali Test. The visitors have their backs to the wall as they are placed at 102-4. They still trail the hosts by 367 runs while needing 168 more to avoid the follow on. The Indian bowlers showed great discipline in their approach and were bang on target with their game-plan. The wicket of Michael Clarke (23) in the final over by Amit Mishra was an added bonus for the Men in Blue. With Hussey (37*) still in the middle, it's a huge task for the touring team to resurrect the innings tomorrow. Join us on day 3 as we have an interesting day in prospect. Till then....Bye and have a good day.

Z Khan to Katich, We are back after the Tea break. Katich has played Zaheer off his front foot defencively. No runs.

Australia are placed at 13-1 with Katich (8*) and Ponting (5*) still in the middle. Join us back shortly.
