Smith continued his defensive ways after lunch but a

double blow saw the visitors' captain and Peter Handscomb depart late in the second session.

Handscomb was caught right in front of the wicket by Jadeja with a quicker, straight ball and five balls later Ashwin had Smith caught at mid-wicket coming down the track in a rush of blood.

Handscomb batted for 45 balls while Smith faced 95 balls and struck just two fours.

India almost had next man Marsh sent back caught behind off Ashwin in the same over in which he dismissed Smith, but a review of the decision revealed he had not nicked the turning ball. But he did not last long after tea.

And when Renshaw was dismissed by Ashwin, the end of the innings was in sight with Australia at 196 for 7, having all seven wickets in less than 50 overs and for the addition of 114 runs.

Renshaw, playing in only his fifth Test, the other Australian top line batsmen did not know how much to attack and how well to defend.
