India resumed on overnight score of 462/8 but could add just three runs to that total. Johnson removed Umesh and Shami to give Australia a 65-run first innings lead.
David Warner gave Australia a breezy start as he went after the Indian bowlers who bowled poor line and length.
Warner had Chris Rogers for company who had three back-to-back fifties to his name before this innings.
After a stroke-filled start, Warner was trapped in front of the stumps by Ravichandran Ashwin.
India's poor time on the field continued as Dhawan dropped an edge off Rogers' bat. He went on to hit his four successive Test 50.
Rogers was living a charmed life as a good, low catch by Dhoni was referred to the third umpire and replays were not conclusive enough to suggest that the Indian keeper had taken the ball cleanly.
Chris Rogers fell for 69, bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin.
