Australia v India: Tourists closing in on victory in Adelaide

India are closing in on a first Test victory in Australia for 10 years after continuing to dominate the opening match of their series in Adelaide.

The tourists added 156 to their overnight 151-3, despite losing their final four wickets for four runs, as they set their hosts 323 to win.

Australia, whose record fourth-innings run chase at Adelaide is 315-6 against England in 1902, ended day four 104-4.

Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took two wickets but Shaun Marsh is 31 not out.

Marsh has spent more than two hours at the crease and negotiated a testing final dozen overs in the company of Adelaide-born Travis Head, who was Australia's top scorer in first innings with 72.

However, the tourists will be encouraged by Australia spinner Nathan Lyon taking 6-122 to run through their middle order.

Lyon took the wickets of Cheteshwar Pujara (70) and Ajinkya Rahane (71), ending their 87-run fourth-wicket partnership and starting a collapse that saw India lose their final seven wickets for 73 runs.

Australia's chase was checked by Ashwin, who also took advantage of a turning pitch, to have opener Aaron Finch caught by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant for 11.
