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, with referal backing up the on-field decision.

With two days left to play there is 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 look well positioned to win the opening match of the five-Test series.

India are now in an utterly dominant position having declared on 487-6 - a lead of 533 runs - after Virat Kohli's superb hundred.

Kohli became their second centurion of the day following Yashasvi Jaiswal's 161 earlier. Here's the key moments from the past hour:

• Kohli brought up his century off 143 balls with a flick down to fine leg for four off Marnus Labuschagne.
• Experienced batter Kohli's hundred was his seventh Test century in Australia and his 30th overall.
• Nitish Reddy, India's top scorer in the first innings, whacked two sixes in an entertaining cameo of 38 off 27 balls.
• En route to his hundred Kohli hit a superb six off Nathan Lyon, who finished he pick of Australia's attack with 2-96.

• Australia must survive 24 minutes before the close on day three as they begin record fourth-innings chase to win the match.

India have further tightened their grip on this Test match after just over an hour of play in the evening session. Here's what's happened:

• India have taken their second-innings total past the 400-mark and increased their lead to in excess of 450.
• After a lean run of scores in Test cricket Virat Kohli has returned to form reaching a half-century off 94 balls.
• The India batter had a lucky escape, however, when Nathan Lyon prodigiously spun a ball out of the footmarks which went through the gate, but missed the stumps.
• Lyon got him some reward for his toil with the wicket of Washington Sundar (29) after he made a mess of a slog sweep.
• Australia will need a record fourth-innings run chase to win the Test.

India are in a commanding position heading into the evening session in Perth. Here's the state of play at tea:

• Virat Kohli has looked in good touch and is unbeaten on 40 as he helped to stretch India's lead beyond 400 after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 161 earlier.
• Washington Sundar (14*) and Kohli have put on 38 for the sixth wicket.
• India lost two wickets in quick succession short after drinks as both Rishabh Pant, stumped off Nathan Lyon, and Dhruv Jurel, trapped lbw by Australia skipper Pat Cummins, departed for just one run each.
• India's bowlers will have watched on with interest after a delivery to Kohli from Cummins rolled along the ground after hitting a crack.
• Lyon has found some turn and beaten the outside edge of the bat on a few occasions.

India have continued to increase their lead into the afternoon session, spearheaded by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Here's what's happened by the time of the drinks break:

• Devdutt Padikkal departed quickly after lunch having made 25 off 71 balls when he was snaffled at caught at second slip by Steve Smith off Josh Hazlewood.
• Yashasvi Jaiswal reached his 150 off 275 balls with square drive to deep point off Mitchell Starc.
• Jaiswal eventually fell for 161, slicing Mitchell Marsh into the hands of Smith. The youngster lingered at the crease, almost in disbelief that he was out, before he left to an ovation.

The morning session of day three of the first Test was largely dominated by Yashasvi Jaiswal's brilliant innings.

Here's what happened:

• India resumed on 172-0 and KL Rahul and Jaiswal added another 29 runs the latter was dismissed for 77 when he edged Mitchell Starc to Alex Carey, who took a smart low catch.
• The stand was the highest by an Indian opening pair in Tests in Australia - eclipsing the 191 made by Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth at the SCG in 1986.
• Jaiswal brought up his fourth Test century off 205 balls by ramping a bouncer from Josh Hazlewood for six. He celebrated by stretching out his arms, closing his eyes and tilting his head skywards.
• Devdutt Padikkal made a patient 25* as he and Jaiswal (141*) helped India to 275-1 at the interval.

India's openers ensured they maintained their dominant position against Australia with an unbroken century stand on day two of the first Test in Perth.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul guided the tourists to 172-0 at close, a lead of 218.

Jaiswal, who is playing in Australia for the first time, has 90 and Rahul, who is opening because regular captain Rohit Sharma is in India after the birth of his second child, is on 62.

Both were patient and willing to defend, before punishing any width or errors in length, on a pitch that carried nowhere near as much threat as the opening day when 17 wickets fell.

Australia were bowled out for 104 in the opening session, a first-innings deficit of 46.

They resumed on 67-7 and Jasprit Bumrah completed his five-wicket haul by removing Alex Carey with his first ball of the day.

Nathan Lyon soon followed but Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood saw off 110 balls for 25.

Only four previous Tests have been played at the Optus Stadium in Perth and all have been won by Australia, who have batted first on each occasion.

Australia will need a strong third day if they are to extend that record.
