India 405 and 55 for 4 (Tendulkar 10*, Zaheer 5*, Hilfenhaus 3-22) need another 161 runs to beat Australia 428 and 192 (Watson 56, Ishant 3-34, Zaheer 3-43)
Australia was bowled out for 192 in its second innings late on day four, with Zaheer Khan taking three late wickets.But India was in trouble early, with Hilfenhaus (3-22) trapping Gautim Gambhir lbw in the first over.
He had Virender Sehwag caught out for 17 with a short-pitched ball and, after Doug Bollinger had Rahul Dravid (13) caught behind by Tim Paine, Hilfenhaus got Suresh Raina caught at slip with another short delivery.
Sachin Tendulkar, unbeaten on 10, holds India's best chance of an unlikely win.Hilfenhaus struck in his first over and added two more wickets to give Australia the edge in the first cricket test as India struggled to 55 for four at stumps Monday, chasing 216 to win.
