Australia will chase 128 for victory and an unassailable 2-0 series lead after dismissing India for 224 before tea on the fourth day of the second test at the Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday.

A magical early spell from Mitchell Johnson (4-61) blew a tight test match wide open in the first 20 minutes and although injured opener Shikhar Dhawan (81) provided some resistance after lunch, the hosts mopped up the tail midway through the afternoon.

India had resumed on 71-1 without opener Dhawan, who was injured warming up in the nets, looking to rub the last 26 runs off their first innings deficit and build another imposing tally to match their first innings 408.

Johnson, though, reprised the onslaught that drove his country to victory in the opening Ashes test at the same ground last year, taking three for 10 in 11 balls.
