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.<\/b><\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Set 534 for victory, a weary Australia were left with an awkward 24 minutes to negotiate before the close.<\/p>\n

Rested and refreshed India stand-skipper Bumrah ran in with menace and trapped Nathan McSweeney lbw with the fourth ball of Australia’s response.<\/p>\n

Australia captain Pat Cummins then came out as nightwatchman and edged Mohammed Siraj to Kohli at second slip.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Australia’s highest fourth-innings chase to win a Test was the 404-3 they made at Headingley against England in July 1948. <\/p>\n

However, with movement and uneven bounce on the pitch India look well positioned to win the opening match of the five-Test series. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
