After being shot out for a paltry total, India hit back immediately through off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who dismissed openers David Warner and Shaun Marsh in quick time.

Australia, who made 260 in their first innings, advanced to 46 for 2 in the second to an overall lead of 201 on a venomous pitch at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
