3rd Test: Early Lunch Taken Due To Searing Rain After Australia Reach 28/0 In 13.2 Overs
Gavaskar Trophy Test: Early lunch has been taken on day one of the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at the Gabba on Saturday due to searing rain. It meant only 13.2 overs were bowled by India in the opening session, as Australia reached 28/0, with Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney unbeaten on 19 and 4 respectively.
With a lot of puddles forming on the outfield already, it could turn out to be a longish break in the proceedings, as per the weather forecast. In the morning, with dark clouds looming, India elected to bowl first, with Ravindra Jadeja and Akash Deep coming in for Ravichandran Ashwin and Harshit Rana respectively.
As dim sunshine came out and section of sparse crowd in fancy dress took its place, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj spent time searching for the right lines and lengths to bowl on a pitch which didn’t offer a great deal of seam movement.
