Usman Khawaja’s 180 and a maiden Test century from Cameron Green helped Australia take control against India on the second day of the fourth Test.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Khawaja and Green shared a 208-run stand, with Green making 114 as Australia posted an impressive 480.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin finished with 6-91 as India eventually bowled out the visitors in Ahmedabad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill saw out 10 overs as India closed the day on 36-0, trailing by 444 runs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Australia are seeking victory in order to draw the series 2-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

The visitors wore black armbands in honour of Pat Cummins’ mother, Maria, who died on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regular Test captain Cummins had returned to Australia before the third Test, with Steve Smith acting as stand-in skipper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Khawaja spent 10 hours in total at the crease, <\/span>building on his opening day 104<\/span><\/a> to put Australia in a dominant position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green, who missed out on selection for the first two Tests, provided solid company for Khawaja, hitting 18 fours in his 170-ball innings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Khawaja’s stand was eventually ended by left-arm spinner Axar Patel, while all-rounder Green was caught down the leg side off Ashwin.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a very good wicket, so I think you’ve got to maybe swallow your ego a bit,” Green said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think tomorrow probably it just will be a holding role for myself and let the spinners get to work.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Should Australia draw the series, they would become the first side to avoid defeat in an away Test series against India since England won on their tour of 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

Victory for India would guarantee their place in the World Test Championship final in June.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
