Aus 451-all out (137.3 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Smith finishes unbeaten on a splendid innings of 178, having hit 17 fours in his 361-ball knock as he showed great application on a pitch which didn't offer the bowlers much assistance on the first two days.

Jadeja was the star performer with the ball for India as he registered wonderful figures of five for 124 in 49.3 overs but his spin partner Ashwin struggled as he managed just one wicket in 34 overs.

Umesh, as he has been right through the home season, once again impressed with the ball as he claimed three for 106 on a pitch which had nothing at all for the fast bowlers, as Ishant went wicketless in 20 overs.

India were done in by the 191 run-stand between Smith and Maxwell, who registered his maiden Test century as he played a superb innings of 104.

India will need their batsmen to come out and make a strong reply to this total. The pitch is still good for batting but they will be aware that it will be very difficult to bat on Day 4 and 5, when they bat in their second innings and hence will be keen to match Australia's total if not take the lead.
