Smith gives India 1st ball reprieve! | 00:54Australia heads into day four of the third Test at the Gabba looking at three things - the follow-on, the weather radar, and holding their catches.Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offerThe home side created a golden chance with the very first ball of the day’s play on Tuesday, with captain Pat Cummins bowling a pearler to India opener KL Rahul.
“He looks ginger, like he is really struggling. He’s walking back gingerly he is just not right.”Rain ruined both the opening and third days of play in Brisbane, but in between drenchings the hosts have gained complete control of the match, leaving India slumped at 4-51 in rely to Australia’s 445. The rain helps the Aussie side in a sense, since the bowling attack is well rested, having sent down just 17 overs.“Tomorrow is going to dictate what happens, if we can get the ball in the right areas and take a few early ones. That obviously brings in the extra card of the follow-on.“The fantastic effort of the batters in the first innings gives us that option as well. When you score 450 and have a team four for 50, you hold all the cards. We’ve certainly got the options there.
Either way, the Aussies will have to get their work in Brisbane done quickly. The Bureau of Meteorology estimates a 90% chance of rain on both day four and five.
