Australia were on the brink of a series sweep after reducing India to 166 for six in their pursuit of 500 runs for an unlikely victory at the close of play on the fourth day of the fourth test on Friday.
The hosts declared at 167-5 shortly after lunch on another sweltering day at the Adelaide Oval which, added to their 604-7 declared, put them 499 runs ahead of India's first attempt of 272.
Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Virat Kohli all crumbled once again before the Australian attack to leave the tourists 333 runs behind with a full day remaining.
