Hello from Brisbane. It’s steamy, it’s cloudy, it’s damp. The forecast is for showers, it’s just a matter of how many of them we get at the Gabba, after we also lost most of the first day.

India will be the happiest with rain, given that things didn’t go so well for them yesterday. Steve Smith century, Travis Head century, enough said. Alex Carey smashed Australia to 405 by stumps and will resume on 45 not out, along with Mitchell Starc.

So presumably Australia will bat on for a while, but they’ll have to think about the amount of time left in the match, with three likely rain-affected days.
