Aus 113-3 (34 ovs) & 260 vs India 105 | Scorecard

A single to Smith off Umesh brings up Australia's 100, in the 32nd over.

Finally, Ashwin gets a break after a long first spell of 16 overs, in which he took all the three Australian wickets to fall so far.

He makes way for off-spinner Jayant Yadav, who was disappointing in the first innings and bowled a lot of poor deliveries.

He is unlucky not to get a wicket in his first over as Renshaw plays the reverse which is going straight to Rahane at first slip but Vijay sticks a hand out and deflects it past Rahane.

Jayant is not happy with Vijay's lazy effort as Rahane was in a good position to catch as India drop another catch.

Smith flicks Umesh through square leg for a four to bring up his fifty from 93 balls to continue his phenomenal record against India.

Australia are 113 for three in 34 overs, to extend their lead to 268 runs.
