Lead now up to 233

Australia 190-4 (78 ovs) and 326 (108.3 ovs) vs Ind 283 (105.5 ovs) | Scorecard

It's lunch at Perth and although just 58 runs came in that first session that period of play certainly belonged to Australia.

Khawaja and Paine did well to see off the bowlers in the first hour and continued to play each ball to merit as they built on their lead that is now gone up to 233.

Ishant replaces Vihari and Khawaja lets one go.

At the other end, Paine gets some talking down from umpire Dharamasena.

Khawaja then plays the ball down to fine leg for a single.

Paine survives! Slower one and Paine mishits in the air, luckily falls short of the fielder at short mid-wicket.

A dot to end the over as the teams go in for lunch.

Shami continues and Khawaja gets a single to backward point.

Paine then defends well. Paine then sways away and lets one go.

And another as just one comes in the over.

Vihari continues, bowls a gift ball, short and wide and Paine times it to perfection through covers for a single.

Shami continues and bowls a maiden.
