AUSTRALIA will make an early declaration on Saturday, setting up a thrilling finale to what has furned into a fiery first Test against India in Adelaide.
The Aussies went to stumps at 5/282, a lead of 363 runs going into the fifth and final day.
Day four will be remembered for two fiery exchanges — the first involving century maker David Warner, and the second the more mild-mannered Steve Smith.
Re-live those two incidents and all the big moments from an explosive day's cricket in the blog below.

FOR the second time today, things have gotten heated between Australia and India.
The first time it involved the notoriously fiery David Warner.
But the second time featured the mild-mannered Steve Smith.
Spinner Rohit Sharma appealed for an LBW against Smith and the batsman was heard saying, "I was halfway down the pitch."
Sharma looked at Smith and yelled: "What? What?"
The incident came after Warner mocked bowler Varun Aaron earlier in the day.

"HE really has turned into a super player, a world-class player," Shane Warne said as David Warner registered his second century of the Test, to go with his 145 in the first innings.
It was not without controversy, however, being bowled off a no ball, dropped and also getting involved in a heated exchange with the Indians.
Australia has moved 3/199 and the lead is out to 272.
4.45pm — MICHAEL CLARKE GONE

THE skipper is out and Verun Aaron — the bowler involved in an earlier altercation with David Warner — is the wicket-taker.
Clarke was slashing at a good-length ball outside off-stump and nicked it through to the keeper, making way for seven.
Warner is still there on 90, having just been dropped in the slips and earlier earned a no-ball reprieve.
Steve Smith joins him with Australia 3/169 in its second innings, a lead of 242.
4.10pm — INDIA STRIKES BACK

AFTER an eventful lead-up to tea, the Indians struck back firs thing after the break with Mohammed Shami bowling Shane Watson for 33 with a beautiful late inswinger.
The wicket brings captain Michael Clarke to the crease as he continues to play through injury.
Clarke joins Warner (70 not out) with Australia 2/140 in its second innings and holding a 213-run lead on day four.
3.30pm — TENSIONS BOIL OVER

A NO BALL that saved David Warner has fired up tensions between the two sides.
Indian fast bowler Varun Aaron ran down the pitch celebrating and yelling, "Come on! Come on!" after thinking he had bowled the Aussie opener.
When Warner learned of his reprieve, he looked at Aaron and mockingly said: "Come on! Come on!"
It was unnecessary from Warner, particularly with all the talk about the renewed spirit of cricket of late, and angered the Indian players as words were exchanged and Indian captain Virat Kohli became involved.
The altercation came a day after Mitchell Johnson and the Australian players showed great compassion after Kohli was hit in the head by a Johnson bouncer in the wake of Phillip Hughes' death.

Warner gets a life.

AUSTRALIAN spinner Nathan Lyon took a sly shot at Indian quick Ishant Sharma ahead of the fourth day of the first Test.
Lyon has been the pick of the Aussie bowlers so far, taking 2/103 as India went to stumps on day three on 5/369 in reply to Australia's 7/517(dec).
The offspinner particularly enjoyed getting extra turn out of the footmarks, which he put down to Sharma constantly running down the wicket — which is not allowed.
"We had big Ishant Sharma running down the middle of the wicket, bowling to David Warner around the wicket, so I am thankful for him making some footmarks for me and bowling around the wicket to Davey," the cheeky Lyon said.
"I'm looking forward to bowling more into those footmarks and hopefully he bowls there again and does it for the whole series."
