Welcome to the coverage of Day 3 of the fourth Test between Australia and India at MCG on Saturday.
India's hopes of making a comeback on the third day depend largely on Rishabh Pant after a late collapse on Day 2 on Friday.
India suffered a disastrous run-out and Scott Boland took two wickets to leave the tourists in major trouble at 164/5 on day two, after another Steve Smith century helped Australia post an imposing 474.
Smith, having scored a drought-breaking 101 in the drawn third Test in Brisbane, reprised his role as India's tormentor-in-chief with a record 11th century against them on the way to 140 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
In reply, India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (82) and Virat Kohli (36) combined in a sturdy 102-run partnership after tea to give the tourists hope of reeling in Australia's total.
That was until Jaiswal suffered a brain-fade late in the session, hitting the ball straight to Australia captain Pat Cummins and calling for a single that was never there.
Kohli sent him back and Cummins threw to wicketkeeper Alex Carey, who whipped off the bails leaving Jaiswal to trudge off in agony in front of a mammoth crowd of 85,147.
If the run-out opened the door for Australia, recalled paceman Boland ripped it off its hinges, having Kohli nick behind on one of the rare occasions the Indian veteran's bat strayed from his body.
Boland then dismissed Akash Deep for a duck when the nightwatchman edged onto his pads, with Nathan Lyon diving forward to take a sharp, low catch.
That left Ravindra Jadeja (four not out) and Pant (six not out) to mount a huge rescue mission, with India still trailing by 310 runs and needing 111 to avoid the follow-on.
