After Australia resumed on 133 for six, India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah got the ball rolling by dismissing Pat Cummins for 22, breaking a 57-run partnership with towering all-rounder Cameron Green at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Debutant seamer Mohammed Siraj then dismissed Green for 45 when the youngster pulled a short ball to a leaping Ravindra Jadeja at midwicket, and had Nathan Lyon (3) caught behind when the spinner bottom-edged a pull to the keeper.

Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin wrapped up the innings by having Josh Hazlewood bowled for 10 when the paceman failed to play a shot.

Mitchell Starc was left 14 not out.

Australia's faint hopes of setting India a task to win were effectively dashed when Green was tempted by Siraj into a rash swipe which hit the toe of his bat and failed to clear the field.

The 21-year-old had batted with composure and patience but the shot had a whiff of hubris two balls after smashing Siraj past mid-on to the fence.

Australia lead the four-test series 1-0 after winning the opener in Adelaide by eight wickets.
