Tue Dec 17 10:32:09 UTC 2024: ## Rain Disrupts India’s Chase in Brisbane Test
**Brisbane, Australia (Dec 17, 2024)** – Persistent rain significantly hampered play on day three of the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane. Only 25 overs were possible in a day marred by stoppages.
Australia, resuming on 405/7 after a rain-free second day which saw centuries from Travis Head and Steve Smith, was bowled out for 445 thanks to Alex Carey’s 70. India’s response was immediately hindered, with the team slumping to 51/4 at the close of play, leaving KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma to navigate a challenging situation.
The first day was similarly affected, with only 13.2 overs bowled. The weather forecast for day four remains bleak, with an 80-90% chance of rain predicted around the scheduled start time, casting doubt on the continuation of the match. While the sun shone brightly earlier in the day, heavy rain is expected around 10 am local time.
