India in trouble as rain slows Australia’s charge at third Test in Brisbane

Bad weather continues to hamper the Brisbane Test with most of day three lost to rain, making a draw the most likely outcome.
Australia’s pacemen rattled through India’s top order on a rain-hit day three of the third test in Brisbane but the recurring wet weather put the brakes on the hosts’ charge.
India were 51 for four at stumps on Monday, trailing Australia’s first-innings total by 394 runs, as play was abandoned nearly an hour early due to bad light at the Gabba.
Opener KL Rahul was unbeaten on 33 with India skipper Rohit Sharma yet to score.
Australia’s bowlers could only complete 17 overs after being bowled out for 445 in the morning. Captain Pat Cummins did well to have Rishabh Pant caught behind for nine in the first over following a rain break before tea.
Two balls later, following a glorious cover drive for four by Rahul off Mitchell Starc, the players trudged off the ground as tea was called early.
