Steve Smith continues his revival with a magnificent century to put Australia on top against India after day two of the fourth Test in Melbourne.

Steve Smith shared a 112-run partnership with Pat Cummins on his way to 140 off 197 deliveries as Australia took control on day two of their fourth test against India, for whom Jasprit Bumrah claimed four wickets.

Australia's fiery pace attack destroyed India's top order on Friday to put them in the driving seat of the fourth Test after they set a daunting first innings target on the back of Steve Smith's 34th Test century.

Even after post-lunch and getting the wicket of Steve Smith, who played an astonishing knock of 140 runs off 197 balls, Indian bowlers failed to bowl out the tail.

Perhaps, Smith might have remembered a bubbling younger self that earned him the sobriquet -- Smudge. But the 19-year-old Konstas made his presence felt even while fielding, constantly talking to Indian batters from the cordon or close-in positions.

Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on six, while Ravindra Jadeja stood on four. Three late wickets in the final half-hour halted India's momentum, which had built to 153-2 earlier in the day. Scott Boland and Pat Cummins took two wickets each.

Sam Konstas made a 65-ball 60 on his Test debut during the fourth Test at Melbourne, which the Aussies won by 184 runs

Australian batter Steve Smith appreciatively called the teen prodigy Sam Konstas 'mad,' highlighting his burst of energy.
