IND vs AUS 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score Updates: The third Test of the India vs Australia five-match series is being played at the historic Gabba ground in Brisbane. When India and Australia last clashed on this ground, thanks to Rishabh Pant’s inning of 89 runs, Team India had registered a historic victory by 3 wickets. With this, Australia’s winning streak that had been going on for 28 years at Gabba ground had ended.
On the first day of the Brisbane Test, India won the toss and chose to bowl. The match had just started when rain intervened. Only 13.2 overs were played in the first session, in which Australia had scored 28 runs without losing any wicket. Usman Khawaja had scored 19 runs and Nathan McSweeney was playing with 4 runs. There was a lot of rain on the first day and considering the weather patterns, light rain is expected on the second day also.
Since the first day was almost completely lost to rain. Therefore, the play of the remaining four days of the match will start half an hour before the scheduled time i.e. at 5.20 am Indian time. Usually 90 overs are played in a day, but now 98 overs will be bowled every day.
Due to rain, the outfield and pitch of the ground may also have been affected. In such a situation, taking advantage of the circumstances, the Indian team would like to defeat Australia on a small score as soon as possible on the second day. Even though only 13.2 overs were played on the first day, Akashdeep, who came in place of Harshit Rana, baffled the Australian batsmen with the new ball. Therefore, apart from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, the Indian team will also expect wickets from Akashdeep. In this match, Team India has brought Ravindra Jadeja in place of Ravichandran Ashwin, but he is yet to be used.
