Only 34 overs could be bowled on day three of the third Test at the Gabba in Brisbane as showers kept reappearing and vanishing at the venue. Even as India have lost four wickets, Australia still face an uphill task to push for a win as the forecast is not promising either for the remaining two days of the Test.

With rains gracing with its presence continuously at the Gabba in Brisbane, players could hardly be on the field for a prolonged period. However, Australia's pace trio has left India in the mire as Mitchell Starc grabbed two wickets, Josh Hazlewood picked up one and Pat Cummins taking one. At Tea, India are 48-4, trailing by 397 runs.

Australia left India in deep deep trouble after Jasprit Bumrah's six wickets skittled them for 445 in a stop-start morning of day three of the third Test at the Gabba in Brisbane. Mitchell Starc struck to remove Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, while Josh Hazlewood got the better of Virat Kohli to reduce India to 22/3.

With Australia sitting comfortably at 405/7 ahead of day three of the Gabba Test looms, Team India face an uphill battle to save the match. However, the visiting side will be buoyed due to the weather inclement of the next three days as patches of rain are predicted in the city, which could impede Australia's chances of pushing for a win.

The hosts thoroughly dominated day two at the Gabba as Steve Smith and Travis Head combined to stitch a 241-run partnership after finding themselves in a bit of bother at 75/3. While Australia had a mini collapse, another 50-run stand between Alex Carey and Pat Cummins propelled them past 400 comfortably. Carey is still batting with 45 and will look to be aggressive on day three.
