But it is still an uphill climb for India to save the Test.
In their second venture, Australia weathered the fire and fury of Mohammed Siraj – which fetched the early wicket of veteran David Warner – and extended their first innings lead of 175 to close to 300. Only a most sensational collapse will bring India into the reckoning.
At draw of stumps on Day 3, Australia were 123/4, leading by 296 runs, with Marnus Labuschagne (41*) and Cameron Green (7*) holding fort.
With cracks appearing on the pitch which could expand on Saturday, the hottest day of the year forecast so far (28-degree Celsius), Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon could come into the frame when India bat in the fourth innings.
Admittedly, though, there was no evidence of assistance to a slow bowler when India’s left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja operated on the third day.
India may have only one left-handed batsman in all-rounder Jadeja in their ranks – often an off-spinner’s bunny.

British Council films explaining cricket, fair play and democracy to the world are released online
Films commissioned more than 50 years ago by the British Council to showcase the best of Britain to the rest of the world – whether that was a sense of fair play, cricket or the joys of congregated drinking in places "called 'public' houses" – have been digitised and are being released online for the first time.
The films were made for about 20 years, between the 1930s and 1950s, and give fascinating snapshots of largely cheery lives being lived in the UK.
They would have been shown across the world in embassies and consulates, promoting democratic values and the benefits of good relations with Britain as fascism spread across Europe.
The films, kept in the BFI archive, have been largely unseen for 30 years. Martin Davidson, the British Council's chief executive, said the films were from a time when propaganda was far more important.
