The pressure on the older players in India’s top order continues to mount – not least on captain Rohit, who was poor again after another poor Test with 12 runs from his two innings.

Kohli was also looking for a loose bat, flailing outside his off-stump and seemed confused about how to approach the innings.

But Jaiswal stood firm after his first innings of 82 and demonstrated his ability to adjust his game when required with another powerful knock.

The 23-year-old hit just eight fours in his 208-ball stay and showed great maturity in helping Pant curb his own attacking instincts.

He was visibly unhappy with his sending off as he walked past referee Joel Wilson, who initially refused to let him out.

Australia requested a review and third umpire Sharfuddoula Saikat recommended that Wilson’s decision be overturned because he could detect a deflection in the slow-motion response, although the Ultra Edge technology did not show a spike.

Washington Sundar put up more stubborn resistance after Jaiswal’s departure with his unbeaten five off 45 balls, but the lower order was blown away as the last three wickets fell within four overs.

Australia were just an over away from the second new ball, but there was no need for that as both Akash Deep and Bumrah fell to Boland before Lyon took the final wicket with Mohammed Siraj pinning the ball at left leg for a duck.

India still have a chance of reaching the final of the World Test Championship, but their fate is now out of their own hands.

They need to triumph in Sydney and hope Sri Lanka wins the series against Australia, which starts at the end of January.
