PremiumIndia vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 highlights: India were 51/4 when bad light forced early stumps on the third day of the third Test match at Gabba in Brisbane. After bowling out Australia to 445 in the first session, India lost three wickets early before rain started playing hide and seek in Brisbane at the Gabba.
India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli with just 22 runs on board. Rain hung around Brisbane for the most part of the day, and in the end, play was officially called off after the sixth interruption.
At stumps on Day 3, India are 51/4 with KL Rahul batting at 33 while captain Rohit Sharma is yet to open his account. India still need to reach 246 to avoid follow-on. The visitors trail by 394 runs.
Earlier, Australia added 40 runs to their overnight total. The pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep picked a wicket each to stop the hosts from reaching 450. With two more days of play left in the Test match, rain is predicted on fourth and fifth days as well.
The play on Day 3 has been called of due to bad light and it will stumps.
The latest update coming in from the centre is that the rain has stopped and play will resume at 12:35 PM IST. Just 13.5 overs left on the day.
The rain has stopped and umpires will have an inspection at 12:20 PM IST.
The chances of play resumption looks bleak as there are no updates from the ground. There is a forecast of rain for the next two days as well. Live visuals show some puddles have already formed beside the covers.
The umpires are having a look at the conditions as the covers come off. But MET department indicates there will be a decent shower coming in later on the day.
Tea has been officially taken as the rain wait continues. The rain is steady at the moment.
Looks like, this is going to a big delay as the rain is heavier now. Meanwhile, 246 is the target to avoid follow-on.
This is disgusting. KL Rahul hits two fours before the rain comes again. Mitchell Starc and the rest of the Australian players wear a disgusted look as they walk back. The covers are on once again.
The break does the job for Australia as Rishabh Pant edged behind to Alex Carey off Pat Cummins. This was after KL rahul had hit a four off Cummins in the first ball after resumption. Rohit Sharma comes out to bat. IND 44/4
The news from the centre is that rain has stopped and the game will resume at 10 AM IST. Umpires are down for inspection.
Isa Guha grabbed headlines on Day 2 for her racist comment on Jasprit Bumrah which did not go well with a lot of ppl. The former England women's team captain has issued an apology on live TV. She said, "Yesterday in commentary I used a word that can be interpreted in a number of different ways. I'd like to apologise for any offence caused. I set myself really high standards when it comes to empathy and respect of others. If you listen to the full transcript I only meant the highest praise for one of India's greatest players. And someone that I admire greatly. I'm an advocate for equality and someone who has spent their career thinking about inclusion and understanding in the game. I was trying to frame the enormity of his achievement and I've chosen the wrong word. And for that I am deeply sorry. As someone who is also of south Asian heritage I hope people would recognise there was no other intention or malice there, and I hope this hasn't overshadowed what has been a great Test match so far - and I look forward to seeing how it progresses."
Like in the previous game, Virat Kohli one again got out while chasing the ball outside off. Legendary Sunil Gavaskar came down hard on the former India captain and said, "If it was on the fourth stump I could understand. This was wide, on the seventh, eighth stump, you could say. There's no need to play that."
Once again, it has started raining at the Gabba. The players are off the field and the covers is on. To much start and stop is breaking the momentum of the two teams.
Play resumes. Josh Hazlewood to start the proceedings under overcast conditions. Just two runs come from the over. IND 29/3
Before the start of the Test match, it was rumoured that Rohit Sharma would bat at the top. But to everyone's surprise, he didn't open today. That means, Rohit will come in the middle order.
There is some good news. The rain has stopped and play will resume at 9:15 AM IST. Before that the umpires had a stroll with the umbrellas on the ground.
