Sundar and Thakur broke Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar's 58-run partnership record for the seventh-wicket set in 1991.

India were bundled out for 336, following which Australian openers David Warner and Marcus Harris took Kangaroos to 21/0 at stumps. The hosts now have a lead of 54 runs. David Warner remained unbeaten on 20 runs while Marcus Harris is not out on one run.

The four-match Test series is levelled at 1-1.
