Australia have won an all-time classic Test, taking seven wickets in the final session at the MCG to defeat India by 184 runs and go 2-1 up in the Border-Gavaskar series.

In front of a record overall attendance for a Test crowd in Australia, the hosts had to get past defiant star India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (84 from 208), who was dramatically dismissed by Pat Cummins.

Veteran spinner Nathan Lyon (2-39), who has struggled during this series, took the final wicket with 39 minutes left and 12 overs remaining to seal an extraordinary win.
