NEW DELHI, October 31 (Reuters): Occasional off spinner Virender Sehwag grabbed three wickets but Ricky Ponting struck 87 as Australia reached 338 for four on the third day of the third test against India on Friday. Australian skipper Ponting led a top order fightback in reply to India's daunting first innings 613 for seven declared. Sehwag bowled Ponting and Mike Hussey (53) in the final session after trapping opener Matthew Hayden (83) before tea.At stumps, Michael Clarke was on 21 with Shane Watson on four, both surviving a few testing overs from Sehwag and leg spinner Amit Mishra on a pitch showing signs of wear and tear. Hayden raised 123 runs with fellow opener Simon Katich (64) before adding another 79 for the next wicket with Ponting in the first two sessions. Australia were coasting at 202 for one when Sehwag trapped Hayden leg before but Ponting added 82 runs for the third wicket with Hussey as the pair got on top of the Indian bowling attack.However, Sehwag took three for 66 from 22 overs on his home ground to bolster an attack already without injured off spinner Harbhajan Singh. Skipper Anil Kumble was also forced off the field after lunch when the team's lead spinner suffered a bad cut on his left hand after dropping Hayden on 70 and had to be taken to hospital. Australian top order batsmen rallied the side, down after a crushing 320-run loss in the second test followed by India's huge first innings total.Day three: India 613-7d v Australia 338-4Hayden led the scoring after Australia resumed after lunch on 151-1, playing powerful shots against Mishra and Sehwag. Hayden, under pressure after failing so far in the series, finally regained form until he was beaten by Sehwag, playing back to a delivery which straightened after pitching. He hit 13 fours and a six in his 154-ball effort. Ponting, who scored 123 in the drawn first test in Bangalore, eased into his innings and rotated the strike initially before opening out to attack left-arm Zaheer Khan and spin.He survived a testing spell of reverse-swing bowling with the old ball from Ishant Sharma, who has removed him three times this series. Ponting, who hit 14 fours, got bogged down before Sehwag, back for a fresh spell, beat the batsman as he stepped out of the crease to play a flighted delivery. Sehwag bowled Hussey in the dying moments of the day when he beat the batsman playing defensively to knock back off-stump, gaining sharp turn despite the second new ball only a few overs old. The final test begins in Nagpur on Nov. 6.
