Australia v India: third men’s cricket Test, day four – live

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the fourth day of the third Test between Australia and India at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Australia made the most of the rain-affected third day to build a strong first-innings total of 445 and tear through the India top order to have them 51-4. But the hosts are now in a race against time – and the weather – to claim India’s six remaining first-innings wickets as well as dismiss their entire batting lineup a second time. The star-studded pace trio have threatened in the limited time they have been able to take the ball in hand with opener KL Rahul the only India batter to get set and look particularly comfortable. But as Australia showed in their first knock, once a batter is set and the ball softens, the Gabba can be a good deck for batting. The impact of the stop-start action across the opening days as well as moisture in the air now looms as an added danger for batters, though there are also signs of cracks that will tempt the spinners. We’ll be back with more of a weather and pitch report shortly.
