The International Cricket Council has prohibited the Australian opener from wearing shoes with symbols of equality and freedom, notably a dove emblem and an olive branch, throughout the Test series against Pakistan.
India's spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja who have been lethal throughout the series probed the Aussie batters but were unable to produce wickets.
The visitors started well in the first half before the Indian bowlers struck twice. Ravichandran Ashwin got the first wicket while Shami scalped the second.
At the end of the day's play, Aussies lead India by 47 runs. Australia resumed their innings at 71/1 after tea.
Announcing the names of the players with the contract, the chief selector had himself admitted that the exclusion of Usman Khawaja was a major decision.
Shaun Marsh, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Stoinis, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Marcus Harris have gone missing from the Cricket Australia list.
Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Ashton Agar, Joe Burns, Kane Richardson and Matthew Wade are the six new names in the list.
Khawaja took to the microblogging website Twitter to share a crucial message for the masses and asked them to take the health threat seriously.
Despite being one of the leading run-scorers in the 50-over game for Australia in 2019, Khawaja was overlooked for the India tour.
