Australia should be the winner considering the situation they are in right now. And I also think that Australia will hope that India tries to score really quickly like tried in the first innings. Because that is going to give Australia more chances to pick up quick wickets. Australia is in a very dominating position right now. The lead is already 320.
The lead is closing towards 400 runs and it is becoming an impossible target for India to even think about chasing. The seventh wicket partnership between Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc is creating the headache for India as they have already build a 62 run partnership and keep on moving forward until they declare the innings and India will be planning to play the long innings for a draw which is highly unlikely.

The lead for Australia is now 442 and they are still not declaring the innings. Are they still afraid of the Indian batting and want to see more runs to ensure that they can't lose?

Well, if this is the approach by the Aussies, they may end up drawing the match if India manages to survive the four sessions. This is an important moment in the match as when to declare and remember time is ticking by, time is the key.
