Australia on top despite Kohli 100
The home side took a 332-run first-innings lead after Siddle led the way with five for 49, overshadowing Kohli’s 116 in India’s 272 all out. Australia slumped to 50 for three by the close of play but will nevertheless begin Day Four with victory a strong possibility. India, resuming at 61 for two, with Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar at the crease, staggered towards lunch in a session which belonged overwhelmingly to the Australians despite the batsman-friendly conditions.
