Slight delay to the start of play in Brisbane as they finish warm-ups, some rain earlier caused that.
Australia v India: third men’s cricket Test, day three – live
Key events
There’s another Test match on, of course, over the ditch in New Zealand, where England are in the process of dealing with a Kiwi fight back. But… there’s rain falling and the start to play has been delayed. Still, Rob Smyth is on the tools and you can join him here:
It was a big moment for Smith yesterday, after a long wait. Here’s my report from the ground.
Preamble
Geoff Lemon
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.
