Australia won the toss and put India in to bat on the opening day of the third Test at the WACA, in Perth on Friday.

India is going with an all-pace attack with medium-pacer Ranganath Vinay Kumar coming in place of Ravichandran Ashwin.

Australia have predictably chosen four quicks on a green pitch with both Ryan Harris and Mitchell Starc in, supporting the established bowling pair of Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus.

Teams:

Australia: David Warner, Ed Cowan, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Michael Hussey, Brad Haddin, Peter Siddle, Ben Hilfenhaus, Ryan Harris and Mitchel Starc.

India: Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Virat Kohli, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Vinay Kumar.

Umpires: Aleem Dar (Pakistan) and Kumara Dharmasena (Sri Lanka).

Third umpire: Paul Reiffel (Australia).

Match referee: Ranjan Madugalle.
