Cricket: Warner's fall sparks Australia's collapse

India claimed 10 wickets in two sessions including David Warner for 180 as the tourists fought their way back into the third Test against Australia in Perth.

Australia resumed on day two on 0-149 and cruised to 0-214 before reaching 3-256 at lunch.

But Warner's dismissal for 180 at 4-290 sparked the fall of seven wickets for 79 runs with Australia bowled out for 369.

Australia hold a lead of 208 with India to begin their second innings in the evening session.

After getting within reach of Adam Gilchrist's Australian record of a double century off 212 balls, Warner fell for 180 off 159 deliveries including 20 fours and five sixes.

The 25-year-old aimed a mighty swipe in the 56th over and was caught at long on by Umesh Yadav off the bowling of Ishant Sharma.

Yadav has been the destroyer for India with his maiden five-wicket haul of 5-93.

Warner had been struck on the ear on 80, dropped at slip on 126 and hit near the elbow on 135 during his 261-minute innings.

A Twenty20 specialist before he secured his baggy green cap, Warner has amassed 383 runs in his five-Test career at an average of 63.83.

Warner's partnership of 214 with Ed Cowan (74) is the highest by an Australian opening pair since Simon Katich and Phil Jaques added 223 against West Indies in Barbados in 2008.

Cowan was bowled by Yadav after adding 34 to his overnight score.

Shaun Marsh was caught at second slip for 11 as the West Australian continued his poor series (14 runs at 3.50).

Veteran Ricky Ponting was bowled between bat and pad by Yadav for seven.

Warner was out after lunch and skipper Michael Clarke (18) fell three overs later, caught behind to Zaheer Khan.

Zaheer, who traded barbs with Brad Haddin this week in the media, dismissed the wicketkeeper/batsman caught behind for a duck at 6-303.

Mike Hussey hit a catch to gully for 14 to hand Vinay Kumar his first Test wicket and Peter Siddle contributed 30.

Mitchell Starc was 15 not out.

Australia lead the four-match series 2-0 and need only to draw the Perth Test to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
