India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score: Weather may spoil Rohit and co's return to Gabba as rain threat looms
Hindustan TimesIndia vs Australia 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score: India and Australia’s much-awaited face-off at the Gabba in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy started off on a damp note, with only 80 deliveries bowled on the morning of the Brisbane Test before play was called off due to regular showers. Nevertheless, India’s opening burst saw them fail to take advantage of those conditions, with the ball not quite doing as much as they would have hoped on the opening morning as the opening duo of Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney looked relatively comfortable against the fresh red ball. They also opted to bring in Ravindra Jadeja for his long-term spin partner Ravichandran Ashwin, meaning India have used three different spin-bowling all-rounders in the first three matches of the series. India will be very concerned about allowing the likes of Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith taking advantage of this situation to add on runs, pushing this innings firmly in Australia’s favour even before Travis Head or Mitchell Marsh could further capitalise by wreaking havoc with quick runs.
