PERTH, Australia (AP) — Yashasvi Jaiswal's brilliant 161 and an unbeaten 100 by Virat Kohli had India sniffing victory in the opening Border-Gavaskar test after setting Australia an unlikely target of 534 runs at the Perth Stadium on Sunday.
Australia slumped to 12-3 at stumps on the third day in the face of taking on the highest-ever run chase for victory in test cricket.

Fast bowler and captain Jasprit Bumrah (2-1) drew first blood and trapped debutante opener Nathan McSweeney (0) lbw with the fourth delivery that kept low. Then off the last ball of the day, Bumrah trapped Marnus Labuschagne (3) lbw with another delivery that hardly bounced.
In between, nightwatchman and skipper Pat Cummins lasted eight balls before he edged fast bowler Mohamed Siraj to Kohli at second slip.
Bumrah picked up where he left off in the Australian first innings when he took 5-30 to bundle out the hosts for 104. This was after India was bowled out for 150 after winning the toss as 17 wickets tumbled on the first day.
Kohli swept legspinner Labuschagne for his eighth boundary to bring up his 30th century in his 119th test as India declared on 487-6 leaving Australia 190 overs over two days to secure an unlikely win.
India last won a test in Perth at the WACA ground in 2018.
It was also Kohli’s first century in 16 innings since July 2023 and came off 143 balls and also included two sixes. He shared a rollicking 76 runs for the seventh wicket with Nitesh Kumar Reddy who was unbeaten on 38.
With Perth temperature soaring to 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 degrees Fahrenheit) the pitch was showing signs of early deterioration with cracks emerging and the odd ball keeping low making batting appear increasingly difficult.
India resuming on a well-placed 275-1 after lunch and progressed to 359-5 at tea as the post lunch session produced just 84 runs for the loss of four wickets.
India briefly lost its way in the session when it lost 4-46 including 3-8 in the space of six balls. That included Jaiswal who clubbed medium paceman Mitchell Marsh but to his dismay had Steve Smith at point catching to end his near 7 ½ hour innings.
Devdutt Padikkal’s dismissal to the first ball after lunch triggered the mini collapse and included Rishabh Pant, stumped as offspinner Nathan Layon cleverly pushed a delivery wide of the charging left hander only for wicketkeeper Alex Carey to whip the bails.
Batsman Druv Jurel was unlucky when he referred his lbw decision and TV replays showed the delivery just brushing the leg stump.
But Kohli and Washington Sundar (29) counterattacked with an 89-run sixth wicket stand before Lyon bowled the latter while attempting to slog.
Jaiswal, who lived in poverty and in a tent with the groundsman of the Mumbai Maidan before starting his career, played one of the finest innings in the short test history of at the Perth Stadium and left to a standing ovation from an appreciative third-day crowd.
His insatiable appetite for big innings was evident Sunday as he stood crest fallen when finally dismissed after playing an innings that will be remembered for many years to come.
His innings lasted 297 balls and provided the backbone of the Indian effort, putting the tourists in position to push for an early lead in the five-test series. He hit six sixes and 15 fours as he took his 2024 run tally to 1,280 in 12 tests at an average of 58.18 including two double hundreds against England at home to add to this ton.
Jaiswal brought up his fourth test century in sensational style as he parried a Josh Hazlewood bouncer over the third man boundary for his third six. He celebrated the ton by raising his bat and then raising both arms. That six took his sixes tally to a record 35 in 2024 and surpassed New Zealander Brendon McCullum’s 33.
“I was really enjoying the batting,” said Jaiswal refusing to single out any of his four hundreds. “All the centuries are amazing. I always believed in me and I will do whatever is required for the team.”
Playing in only his 15th test in a career that has spanned just as many months, Jaiswal was in brilliant form as he batted with control, authority and conviction.
“It is always special to score a hundred against one of the best teams in the world,” Jaiswal said of his batting heroics. “I worked hard in every practice session because I really wanted to score runs in Australia."
Jaiswal was dismissed for 0 in the first innings to join Sunil Gavaskar in scoring a duck and a hundred in the same test in Australia. Gavaskar made 0 and 118 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in December 1977.
Jaiswal and KL Rahul (77) shared 201 runs for the first wicket as the latter played second fiddle to Jaiswal in the 383-ball stand, batting for 302 minutes with five fours off 176 balls.
Leftarm swing bowler Mitchell Starc finally separated the partnership when KL Rahul edged a delivery that was slanted across the right hander and wicketkeeper Alex Carey took a low catch.
The opening stand was the highest for India in Australia since the 191 between Gavaskar and Krishnamachari Srikkanth at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 1986.
Australia and India are one-two in the World Test Championship standings.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty on Friday called on members of the public to send any video or other evidence in the fatal shooting of Renee Good directly to her office, challenging the Trump administration's decision to leave the investigation solely to the FBI.
Moriarty said that although her office has collaborated effectively with the FBI in past cases, she is concerned by the Trump administration's decision to bar state and local agencies from playing any role in the investigation into Wednesday's killing of Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis.
She also said that despite the Trump administration’s insistence that the officer who shot Good has complete legal immunity, that isn’t the case.
“We do have jurisdiction to make this decision with what happened in this case,” she said at a news conference. “It does not matter that it was a federal law enforcement agent.”
Moriarty said her office would post a link for the public to submit footage of the shooting, even though she acknowledged that she wasn't sure what legal outcome submissions might produce.
The prosecutor's announcement came on a third day of Minneapolis protests over Good's killing and a day after federal immigration officers shot and wounded two people in Portland, Oregon.
Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement to Minnesota Public Radio on Friday saying, “kindness radiated out of her.”
"On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns," Becca Good said.
“I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him,” she wrote. “That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.”
The reaction to the Good's shooting was immediate in the city where police killed George Floyd in 2020, with hundreds of protesters converging on the shooting scene and the school district canceling classes for the rest of the week as a precaution.
On Thursday night, hundreds marched in freezing rain down one of Minneapolis’ major thoroughfares, chanting “ICE out now!” and holding signs saying, “Killer ice off our streets." And on Friday, protesters were out again demonstrating outside of a federal facility that is serving as a hub for the immigration crackdown that began Tuesday in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Authorities erected barricades outside the facility Friday.
City workers, meanwhile, removed makeshift barricades made of old Christmas trees and other debris that had been blocking the streets near the scene of Good's shooting. Officials said they would leave up a shrine to the 37-year-old mother of three.
The Portland shootings happened outside a hospital Thursday afternoon. Federal immigration officers shot and wounded a man and woman, identified by the Department of Homeland Security as Venezuela nationals Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, who were inside a vehicle, and their conditions weren't immediately known. The FBI and the Oregon Department of Justice were investigating.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and the city council called on ICE to end all operations in the city until a full investigation is completed. Hundreds protested Thursday night at a local ICE building. Early Friday, Portland police reported that officers had arrested several protesters after asking the to get out of a street to allow traffic to flow.
Just as it did following Good's shooting, DHS defended the actions of the officers in Portland, saying it occurred after a Venezuelan man with alleged gang ties and who was involved in a recent shooting tried to “weaponize” his vehicle to hit the officers. It wasn't immediately clear if the shootings were captured on video, as Good's was.
The Minneapolis shooting happened on the second day of the immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities, which Homeland Security said is the biggest immigration enforcement operation ever. More than 2,000 officers are taking part and Noem said they have made more than 1,500 arrests.
The government is also shifting immigration officers to Minneapolis from sweeps in Louisiana, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. This represents a pivot, as the Louisiana crackdown that began in December had been expected to last into February.
Good's death — at least the fifth tied to immigration sweeps since Trump took office — has resonated far beyond Minneapolis, as protests happening in other places, including Texas, California, Detroit and Missouri.
In Washington, D.C., on Thursday, a woman held a sign that said, “Stop Trump’s Gestapo,” as hundreds of people marched to the White House. Protesters in Pflugerville, Texas, north of Austin, banged on the walls of an ICE facility. And a man in Los Angeles burned an American flag in front of federal detention center.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump and others in his administration have repeatedly characterized the Minneapolis shooting as an act of self-defense and cast Good as a villain, suggesting she used her vehicle as a weapon to attack the officer who shot her.
But state and local officials and protesters rejected that characterization, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey saying videos show the self-defense argument is “garbage.”
Several bystanders captured footage of Good's killing, which happened in a neighborhood south of downtown.
The recordings show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward and a different ICE officer standing in front of it pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots at close range, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him.
It is not clear from the videos if the vehicle makes contact with the officer, and there is no indication of whether the woman had interactions with agents earlier. After the shooting, the SUV speeds into two cars parked on a curb before crashing to a stop.
The federal agent who fatally shot Good is an Iraq War veteran who has served for nearly two decades in the Border Patrol and ICE, according to records obtained by AP.
Noem has not publicly named him, but a Homeland Security spokesperson said her description of his injuries last summer refers to an incident in Bloomington, Minnesota, in which court documents identify him as Jonathan Ross.
Ross got his arm stuck in the window of a vehicle whose driver was fleeing arrest on an immigration violation. Ross was dragged and fired his Taser. A jury found the driver guilty of assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
Attempts to reach Ross, 43, at phone numbers and email addresses associated with him were not successful.
