Australian offspinner Nathan Lyon has dismissed Virat Kohli late on day four to all but extinguish an Indian victory in the second Test in Perth.

Australia's hopes of setting India a mammoth victory target vanished after a mesmerising spell from paceman Mohammed Shami.

A month after claiming the prized wicket of Virat Kohli, WA teenager Aaron Hardie is a player to watch in the IPL auction.

Hardik Pandya could be rushed back into India's XI for the third chapter of the four-Test series, which starts in Melbourne on Boxing Day.

Australian captain Tim Paine and his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli have been admonished by umpire Chris Gaffaney for their behaviour during the second Test.

Australian batting coach Graeme Hick doubts Peter Handscomb will change his unorthodox technique despite coming under pressure to retain his Test spot.
