**Brisbane, Australia –** Rain wreaked havoc on the third day of the third Test match between India and Australia in Brisbane, significantly hindering India’s pursuit of Australia’s first innings total. Only 25 overs were possible on a stop-start day, leaving India struggling at 51/4 in response to Australia’s 445 all out.
Alex Carey top-scored for Australia with 70 runs. India’s innings was hampered from the outset, with the first day also significantly reduced to 13.2 overs due to weather. While day two saw 88 overs played, with centuries from Travis Head and Steve Smith propelling Australia to 405/7, the rain returned with a vengeance on day three.
The forecast for day four remains bleak, with an 80-90% chance of rain predicted around the scheduled start time. A delay to the start of the second session on day three was already announced due to persistent drizzle. While the sun is currently shining, heavy rain is anticipated around 10 am local time. The match’s outcome hangs precariously in the balance, heavily dependent on the unpredictable weather.
