Stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah brought himself back into the attack and found the breakthrough to leave India four wickets away.

Here's what happened in the first hour of the afternoon session:

• Bumrah had Travis Head caught behind for 89 with a beautiful delivery.
• The wicket ended a 82-run stand between Mitchell Marsh and Head for the sixth wicket. The pair were counter-attacking and finding scoring fairly easy.
• Marsh was dropped at mid-wicket by Devdutt Padikkal on 13. It a tough chance as the pull came quickly, and it brushed Padikkal's fingertips.
• Marsh has hit two enormous sixes - one a pull off Harshit Rana and another down the ground off Washington Sundar.
• Former Australia opener David Warner has said Australia should see this as a "net session" ahead of the remainder of the five Test series.

India moved to within five wickets of victory in the morning session. Here's what you missed:

• Australia, who resumed on 12-3, moved to 104-5 at lunch. They are chasing 534 for victory.
• Jasprit Bumrah had an appeal for lbw against Steve Smith from the first ball of the day, but Bumrah had overstepped.
• Usman Khawaja was dismissed in the second over of the day by Mohammed Siraj though. The left-hander attempted a pull but top-edged and Rishabh Pant made up some ground to his right to take the catch. That left Australia 17-4.
• Steve Smith and Travis Head shared 62 for the fifth wicket before the former edged behind a wonderful delivery by Siraj to fall for 17.
• Head and Mitchell Marsh guided Australia to lunch, who are chasing a world record total.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli hit imperious centuries before Jasprit Bumrah took two late wickets as India put themselves in a dominant position against Australia at stumps on day three of the first Test.

Opener Jaiswal's sublime 161 set the tone for India as he and KL Rahul compiled a record first-wicket stand of 201 for India in Australia.

That was followed by Kohli's zen-like unbeaten knock of exactly 100 at Perth's Optus Stadium as India declared their second innings on 487-6.

Set 534 for victory, a weary Australia were left with an awkward 24 minutes to negotiate before the close.

Rested and refreshed India stand-skipper Bumrah ran in with menace and trapped Nathan McSweeney lbw with the fourth ball of Australia's response.

Australia captain Pat Cummins then came out as nightwatchman and edged Mohammed Siraj to Kohli at second slip.

A fired-up Bumrah struck again in his third over as he had Marnus Labuschagne out lbw, ball-tracking technology backing up the on-field decision after the Aussie batter referred it.

With two days left to play there is, in theory at least, still time for Australia to either bat out for a draw or chase down a record total to win the match.

The current highest successful fourth-innings total to win a match is the 418-7 made by West Indies against Australia at St John's in May 2003.

Australia's highest fourth-innings chase to win a Test was the 404-3 they made at Headingley against England in July 1948.

However, with movement and uneven bounce on the pitch India are strongly positioned to win the opening match of the five-Test series.
