Opener David Warner put Australia in a position of strength, hitting his second century of the match (102), to end day four of the first Test at 290 for five, ahead by 363 runs, after the hosts bowled out India for 444 at the Adelaide Oval here Friday.

Australia had declared their first innings at 517 for seven.
