Mohammed Shami was the star for India as he picked up six wickets, his career-best haul in Tests. However, Australia's tail once again stepped up and pushed the lead tov 287. In response, Australia continued their dominance by dismissing KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara cheaply. When Nathan Lyon picked up both Murali Vijay and importantly Virat Kohli for 17, Australia secured a firm grasp in the match. Ajinkya Rahane and Hanuma Vihari stitched a 43-run stand but Rahane's dismissal towards the fag end turned the game once again. Australia will need five wickets while India need 175 runs on a wicket becoming more difficult to bat on. (SCORECARD)
