Australia set the platform for a final-day push for victory in the fourth Test against India after establishing a 348-run lead with four wickets remaining in Sydney. After bowling out India for 475 in the afternoon session to establish a first-innings advantage of 97, Australia's batsmen then went on the offensive as the hosts blazed their way to 251 for six by the close. In-form captain Steve Smith (71) and opener Chris Rogers (56) laid the foundations before newcomer Joe Burns smashed 66 off 39 balls to leave Australia in a strong position to try and seal a 3-0 series victory.
