The development came as a big breakthrough for the hosts. Green has been in superb form of late and scored an outstanding century in the fourth Test against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Mohammed Shami also removed Marcus Stonis, who was caught by Shubman Gill at first slip after being dropped during the first attempt.

Australia were eventually bundled out for 188 in 35.4 overs. Mitchell Marsh top-scored for the Aussies, scoring 81 off 65 balls, with the help of 10 boundaries and five sixes.

For India, Shami and Mohammed Siraj emerged as the pick of the bowlers with three scalps each. Ravindra Jadeja took a couple of wickets, while Hardik Pandya returned with one scalp.

Mohammed Siraj picks up the final two wickets as both Sean Abbott and Adam Zampa depart for a duck.

Australia all out for 188 runs.
