‘Brisbane test to be washed off?’: Bureau of Meteorology of Australia reveals startling reports

New Delhi: Dark clouds hover over the Gabba test. The Bureau of Meteorology of Australia predicted on Monday that there are 90% chances of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, the last two days of the Brisbane Test between the Aussies and India.

According to various reports from the meteorological department, there is a possibility of 5 to 30 mm of rain on Tuesday while on Wednesday there is a possibility of rain between 2 to 25 mm. On Monday, the play of Day 3 was stopped due to recurrent spells of rain.

At Stumps on Day 3, the visitors are struggling at 51/4 with right-hand batter KL Rahul (33*) and team skipper Rohit Sharma (0*) unbeaten at the crease. The Indian team will resume its humongous climb of the first innings total of the Aussies- 445/10. India is currently reeling under 51/4.

Most of the third session was washed out as the rain continued to fall throughout the session. This third and final session of the day only witnessed three overs where the Indian side were able to score just three runs.

Earlier in the second session, the rain interrupted play, but Pant remained consistent in his approach of picking up runs on loose deliveries that fell in his hitting arc.

The “HEAD-Ache!” for Team India

On the other hand, the main cause of dismay for team India, Travis Head once again butchered the Indian bowlers courtesy of terrible line and length in bowling.

Travis Head continued to bully India by smashing a second successive hundred while Steve Smith clawed his way back to form with his 33rd century as Australia reached an imposing 405 for 7 at the end of the second day of the third Test here Sunday.
