India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 2 Hourly Weather Report: Brisbane Under 'Alert'. The Reason Is...

Only 13.2 overs were bowled on Day 1 of the 3rd Test between India and Australia with rain causing an early suspension to the day's play on Saturday. Put into bat by India captain Rohit Sharma, Australia finished the day on 28-0 with Usman Khawaja 19 not out and Nathan McSweeney unbeaten on four. The rain persisted throughout the day and the umpires eventually called off play midway through the final session. To make up for the lost overs, the play will begin 30 minutes prior (5:20 AM IST) to the scheduled start (5:50 AM IST), but only if the weather allows.

3rd Test: Australian Openers Start Well, Reach 28/0 On Rain-Curtailed Day 1

Local hero Usman Khawaja and young Nathan McSweeney displayed sound defensive technique against Jasprit Bumrah but persistent rain played havoc with the opening day of the third Test, allowing only 13.2 overs of play in which Australia scored 28 for no loss against India in Brisbane Saturday. The gloomy weather didn't allow any action after the rain-curtailed first session. The weather in Brisbane indicates a start-stop game throughout the next four days. Khawaja (19 batting, 47 balls) and McSweeney (4 batting, 33 balls) traded aggression with caution but the senior left-hander still got a couple of boundaries when Mohammed Siraj pitched it short.

With the series level at 1-1, the next five days in Brisbane could potentially decide the fate of the BGT series. Australia will look to build the momentum they found in Adelaide, while India will look to draw inspiration from the record-shattering victory in Perth. Australia decided to bring in Josh Hazlewood, who missed the second Test due to side strain.

For India, Harshit Rana and Ravichandran Ashwin were replaced by right-arm seamer Akash Deep and seasoned all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
