Phillip Hughes and nightwatchman Lyon resumed Australian innings on Day 5, adding 14 runs to their overnight score before the latter was dismissed at the score of 89.
Skipper Michael Clarke, who suffered a back injury on Sunday, came to bat on and smashed two boundaries in quick succession to take Australia past India's first innings lead.
Australia ended the fourth and penultimate day at 75/3, trailing by 16 runs, after bowling out India to 499 in their first innings.
At stumps, Phillip Hughes (53 batting) is fighting hard in company of nightwatchman Nathan Lyon (4).
Whatever Australians gained in the first two sessions on Day 4, was surrendered, when they lost three quick wickets, all to Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Bhuvneshwar produced a brilliant spell to remove openers David Warner (2), Ed Cowan (8) and Steven Smith (5), who was promoted ahead of injured captain Michael Clarke.
India lead the series 2-0 after convincing wins in Chennai and Hyderabad, and seemed to be on course to clinch the series.
