Australia lead India by 155 runs on day four of the third Test in Melbourne.

Australia have established a 155-run over India at lunch on day four of the third Test in Melbourne this morning.

Mitchell Johnson, who removed Virat Kohli (169) at the end of play yesterday, picked up where he left off by dismissing Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami to leave the Indians all out for 465 early on.

David Warner got the hosts' second innings underway as he produced a total of 40 runs before being removed lbw by Ravi Ashwin.

Chris Rogers (33) and Shane Watson (15) - both currently unbeaten - helped boost the total up to 155 before the break as Steven Smith's side boast a further nine wickets still in play.

Australia lead the series 2-0.
