4th Test: Will rain play spoilsport?

January 17, 2021 04:14

Good morning and welcome to the updates of the 3rd Day of the 4th and final Test between Australia and India played at the Gabba on Sunday.

A heavy downpour frustrated Australia on Day 2, with play abandoned after tea and India spared from resuming on 62 for two in reply to the home side's first innings 369.

India number three Cheteshwar Pujara was eight not out, with stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane on two at the teabreak before a storm broke over the Gabba.

With more rain forecast over the remaining days, Australia may have little time to bowl India out twice and seal the series 2-1.

To emerge with a tied series would be a massive achievement for Rahane's side, which has battled a mounting injury toll throughout and lacked a single first-choice bowler to call on in Brisbane.
