India today gave a strong reply to Australia's 451 as Cheteshwar Pujara's record 525-ball 202 and Wriddhiman Saha's career-best 117 handed them a 152-run lead.
Jadeja then snapped two wickets to reduce Australia to 23-2, still needing 129 runs with eight wickets in hand to avoid a first innings defeat.
"Going to have to come up with a plan to combat Jadeja but we've worked on that and you'll probably see it tomorrow I would think," Lehmann said after the penultimate day's proceedings.
Jadeja would look to exploit the footmarks, something that has given him a fair amount of success as he backed up his fifer in the first innings with 2/6 in 3.2 overs today.

"It was a great ball that got Warner in the end. If they bowl 10 of those so be it. But we've got to cope with it as best as we can and come up with a plan and we've done a lot of practice in those conditions, so I'm really confident they can do the job and see how they go. It'll be a great challenge for them," Lehmann said.
"Obviously we've got to save the game and worry about tomorrow first. It's a case of obviously applying ourselves much like Pujara and Saha did today," Lehmann said.
Showering praise on Pujara, the Aussie coach said: "He's very disciplined and played really well. That's why he is a class player. He bats for a long period of time. His conversion rate from 50 to 100 and 100 to 150 are pretty high. When he gets in, he likes to go on with it. That's a challenge for our bowling group. To find a way to get him out early."

Terming it a traditional Indian wicket, Lehman said there was no real fear from the pitch at the JSCA International Stadium hosting its maiden Test.
"Once the ball gets a little bit softer it plays pretty well so there's no real demons in the track. You've got to prepare for all scenarios here in India, as you've seen the wickets start to wear on day four, day five, this has been a really traditional Indian wicket, a good wicket."
"It's quite a challenge. Preparing for Dubai that's what we did and now it's putting it into practice."
With Pujara and Saha playing with utmost patience, Australia were made to bowl as many as 210 overs.
There was much workload for the top four bowlers with left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe bowling a record 77 overs in India, the most by an Aussie here.
Skipper Steve Smith gave only four overs to Glenn Maxwell, something that was questioned by former captain Michael Clarke but Lehmann backed his skipper.
"And we chopped and changed a little bit, probably could have bowled a few more overs but I thought the spinners toiled really hard as well so that's a call the captain makes out there and really happy with that.
"When you bowl 210 overs, I don't think that's happened too often and India do that well they bat long periods of time here in India. If anything it heightens our first innings where we needed to bat a little bit longer.
