Australia has completely outclassed India in the first session, piling on 130 runs in just 27 overs.
Travis Head was the star of the show, relentlessly dominating the bowlers with a mix of powerful boundary-hitting and smart strike rotation, as he brought up his magnificent ninth Test century.
Steve Smith, initially watchful, grew increasingly fluent at the crease, displaying flashes of his best with elegant and authoritative strokes. India's bowlers appeared out of answers and visibly deflated, unable to disrupt the momentum of this formidable partnership.
As the teams head into tea, Australia is firmly in control of the match with 234-3.
