Ind vs Aus: Kangaroos rake up 131 runs following early loss
At lunch, the visiting side have put on 131 runs for the loss of Matt Renshaw's wicket, who had a rare failure today.
Meanwhile, David Warner, who has looked off colour so far in the series, has faced 79 deliveries for his unbeaten knock of 54, consisting of eight boundaries and a six.
The Aussie skipper, who is in prime form, hit another half century, adding to his tally of runs.
Facing 101 balls, Smith is unbeaten on 72 runs.
For India, who is fielding a side sans their regular skipper Virat Kohli, the silver lining came pretty early as Matthew Renshaw was dismissed in the second over of the day by Umesh Yadav.
In a rare failure, the 19-year-old south paw scored just the 1 run, having faced six deliveries.
The match, which is the first official Test to be hosted by the HPCA, also marked the debut of Indian left arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
