Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly hit half-centuries as India regained control on the first day of the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia on Friday.
Australia had threatened to grab the honours on the opening day in Mohali, left-arm paceman Mitchell Johnson picking up four top-order wickets in quick succession and triggering a mini collapse.
But India wrested control thanks to a 142-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Tendulkar - who became the leading run-scorer in Test cricket on the way to his 88 - and Sourav Ganguly, the pair helping India finish the day on 311 for five.
