Day 1 in Brisbane was cut short due to rain, and it is expected to play spoilsport on Day 2 again, of the ongoing India vs Australia second Test match.

Rain played spoilsport on Saturday as Day 1 of the ongoing third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test match was cut short at the Gabba, in Brisbane. The spectators got to see only 13.2 overs of cricket, and will be hoping to get a full day of cricket on Sunday. The match began with India captain Rohit Sharma winning the toss and opting to bowl. Aussie openers Usman Khawaja (19*) and Nathan McSweeney (4*) remained unbeaten and will resume batting on Day 2.
