Jaiswal was run out following a mix up with Kohli, who was caught behind in the following over. Australia were all out after lunch with Steve Smith scoring his 34th Test hundred.
Resuming at their overnight score of 311 for six, the hosts added 163 runs on the day to post a commanding total.
India need a victory at the MCG or other results going their way, if they stand a chance of making it to the ICC World Test Championship final. As for the Aussies, they require a victory in the 4th Test and could seal their spot with the forthcoming Sri Lanka series.
