Australia were 90 for one in 22 overs in their second innings at lunch. This was after India were bowled out for 465 runs in 128.5 overs in their first innings, handing the hosts a lead of 65 runs.
At the break, Chris Rogers (33*) and Shane Watson (15*) were the unbeaten batsmen.
The hosts got off to a rousing start with David Warner (40 runs, 42 balls, 6 fours) coming out to bat despite a bruised right arm to go with his already hurting left thumb.
While he was at the crease, they were scoring at nearly six-per-over though things settled down a little after drinks break.
The Australian 50-mark came up in the 12th over, 38 off those coming off Warner's bat. He was finally removed by R Ashwin (1-14) in the 15th over, adjudged LBW as the delivery hit him on the backfoot.
Earlier, Australia made quick work of the Indian tail as the visitors resumed at their overnight score of 462/8.
Shami (12) and Yadav (0) were at the crease, with Ishant (0*) waiting, hoping to keep the hosts in the field as long as possible. However, their attempt lasted ony 15 deliveries as Johnson (3-135) finished the job at hand without any fuss.
The fast bowler's figures overnight had read 1/133 from 29.2 overs and this morning he finished with 3/135 from 30.5 overs.
This meant India had collapsed from 409/4 to 465 all out in the space of 21.1 overs.
