Australia rode on a fine century by Marcus North to get to 478 in their first innings on day two of the second Test against India at Bangalore on Sunday.
Resuming on 285, both the overnight batsmen, North and Tim Paine frustrated the Indian bowlers with a 128-run stand for the sixth wicket in a lop-sided session.
For the second successive day, Australia, who trail the series 1-0, dominated the morning session, scoring freely without loss.
North played with maturity and looked solid both against the pacers and spinners. He slog-swept Pragyan Ojha for the first six of the match.
Paine's was a slightly more eventful knock in which he struck two fours off an S Sreesanth over and was caught behind off a no-ball by the pacer before he brought up his second Test 50 with a cheeky boundary off Ojha.
