Prithvi Shaw was the last man to fall in what proved to be a strong day for the tourists after a poor start: India lost their last four first-innings wickets for just 11 runs, but went on to bowl Australia out for 191 to gain a 53-run lead.

Ravichandran Ashwin was India’s star performer with the ball, returning figures of 4-55 from his 18 overs.

The dismissal of Josh Hazlewood in the final session left India with a brief but tricky period to negate under lights against the pink ball and they were unable to get through it unscathed: Shaw – who fell for a second-ball duck in the first innings to prolong a lean run of form dating back to the IPL – was the man to depart, with Cummins nipping one back in to beat the defence of the 21-year-old.

The 15th and final wicket of an incredible day. And what a ball it was. #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/Y3MsYPPaFA
