Cameron Green accelerated in the middle session as Australia scored over 130 runs at a rate just shy of 6 to swell their lead to 406 before they declared.

Hazlewood struck off the first ball of his new spell to get the outside edge from Gill to break the 71-run stand.

Rohit Sharma attacked with traditional shots scoring a half-century before close of day's play.
