Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Recap day one of third Test between Australia and India in Brisbane

With 70mm of rain falling on Brisbane today there was very little cricket to be played.

We’ll be back tomorrow for day two.

Farewell!

The Scorchers have dropped their squad for tomorrow and there are some big names included!

Analysis: While there was not much play today, Rohit Sharma could be left to rue not batting first.

The first day has been called to a close with the rain being too much for the ground to overcome.

There was a little sunlight at the end but still rain around.

It means play will start early on day two.

The rain is still falling in Brisbane but there has not been a call made on play.

It’s a waiting game.

The rain is persisting in Brisbane and the lights have taken over.

A few fans still linger but hopes of play are fading fast.

There’s nothing happening at the Gabba with Smith and Labuschagne both having the pads off in the player’s rooms.

They will be the first to kit up if play gets resumed.

There’s only a few puddles left in the outfield and green grass is the dominant feature of the ground again.

However, it is very wet and even without more rain the ground staff have a big job ahead.

The ground in Brisbane is becoming a swamp land and the chances of play starting before the last session are slim.

The rain has teemed down and there are huge puddles on the ground.

An early Lunch will be taken but the Gabba does drain well.

Hopefully we get some action in the second session.
