Rain delays slow rampant Australia after India lose four early wickets in third Test Brisbane’s big wet looms as India’s best chance of saving the third Test against Australia, after the tourists slumped to 51-4 after a miserable day three for them at the Gabba.
In between seven rain delays, one aborted start and an early finish due to bad light, Australia were all out for 445 before Mitchell Starc stamped his authority with the ball.
Next ball, Hazlewood drew the edge of a driving Kohli to have him caught behind for three, continuing the Indian mega star’s horror run in first innings.
Further rain is forecast on the final days, meaning the only way Australia may win this game and take 2-1 series lead is if they bowl India out for 245 or less and enforce the follow on to bat just once.
Starc (2-25) took wickets in each of his first two overs, before a brilliant piece of fielding from the quick gave Josh Hazlewood the chance to remove Virat Kohli.
