The remaining day of the Adelaide Test match looks set to yield some fine cricketing action as Australia finished Day 4 as favorites.
As the day ended giving high hopes for Australians, the home team has taken their lead to 363 runs with scores at 290/5 in their second innings.
Starting their Innings with a lead of 73 runs, Australian innings cruised on the shoulders of David Warner (102), who pulled off his second century in the Adelaide Test.
Warner left to pavilion shortly after reaching the ton, with the wicket credited to spinner Karn Sharma. Steven Smith, another century man in the first innings, aided the Australian innings with a well-paced unbeaten half century as the score ended at 290/5 from 69 overs.
Earlier, the Indian innings was put to a halt by an impressive spell from Nathan Lyon, who clinched his fifth five-wicket haul with a spell of 5/134.
Peter Siddle did his job at the other end by sending back tail-enders Karn Sharma and Mohammed Shami, ending the innings with a final score of 444. Follow the live scores here.

Michael Clarke would be mulling over a declaration, which would set the target for the Indians to 364 tomorrow. The final day looks well survivable on a track that has limited the benefits of the bowling side, when compared with the rest in the country.
However, with Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Lyon, the Australians would be taking the attack back to the Indians, who would certainly have a test of patience.
The Indians would have to pull off a miracle if they are to end the opening Test on a winning note. However, that possibility looks far out of sight.
