Brisbane: The Bureau of Meteorology of Australia has reported today that there are 90% chances of rain on the last two days of the Brisbane Test played between the Baggy Greens and India which is Tuesday and Wednesday. The Bureau of Meteorology website also reported that on Tuesday there will be possible rainfall of 5 to 30 mm whereas on the other hand, the possibility of rain is 2 to 25 mm.
Earlier today, rain stopped play in the third session of Day 3 of the ongoing Test match at The Gabba on Monday as India still trailed Australia’s score by 394 runs.
At Stumps on Day 3, the visitors are struggling at 51/4 with right-hand batter KL Rahul (33*) and team skipper Rohit Sharma (0*) unbeaten at the crease.
The Rohit Sharma-led side resumed the third session from 48/4, trailing by 397 runs, with KL Rahul and skipper Rohit Sharma unbeaten with scores of 30 (52) and 0 (1), respectively.
Most of the third session was washed out as the rain continued to fall throughout the session. This third and final session of the day only witnessed three overs where the Indian side were able to score just three runs.
Earlier in the second session, the rain interrupted play, but Pant remained consistent in his approach of picking up runs on loose deliveries that fell in his hitting arc. As Pant and Rahul started to gain momentum with the odds stacked against them, rain once again came in to stall play. The duo returned to the pitch once the rain let off.
Rahul arguably played the shot of the day with a cover drive straight out of the cricket textbooks off Cummins. With the scoreboard regularly ticking and the partnership becoming a threat to the Australians, Cummins upped the ante to extend the dominance exuded by the hosts.
The Australian skipper had worked out his angles and pitched the delivery beautifully to draw Pant (9) out. He nipped the ball away from Pant enough to catch the outside edge straight through to Carey.
