India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Highlights: India's top-order collapses again on rain-hit day

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: He should have probably had three or four but something is better than nothing. Alex Carey holes out at deep midwicket and his excellent lower order burst comes to an end.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Siraj replaces Jadeja, who has bowled a 7-over spell. Nathan Lyon is on strike.

Australia 445/9

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: And India have lost a review as well. Jadeja and India appeal for LBW off the second ball of the 115th by Jadeja. Umpire shakes his head and Rohit review. Ball tracking says that it was outside off. Carey has cruised to 66 off 81 balls, Lyon on two off 27 balls.

Australia 441/8 in 115 overs

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Australia have no intention to declare, we could see Smith in the dressing room in his training kit. Jadeja continues and he is bowling to Alex Carey, on 64 off 75 balls. Nathan Lyon yet to get off the mark after 15 balls.

Australia 435/8

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Well the larger square covers were taken off almost as soon as they were placed as the drizzle passed away. It is pretty bright out there and a resumption is imminent.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: There is the first of what is surely going to be many rain interruptions today. Akash Deep bowled that last ball and then the umpires asked the players to head back. They aren't running back, it is just a light drizzle.

Australia 435/8 in 112 overs

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: It has started drizzling just before Akash Deep bowls the last ball of his 27th over. The umpires are allowing play to continue for now...

Australia 435/8

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Well this is quite perplexing. Jasprit Bumrah has been taken off with Australia down to their last two wickets after bowling just two overs today. Akash Deep replaces him in the 108th over and Carey meets him with a towering six over long on second ball of the over. Then Jadeja continues from the other end and so it is not even a change of ends for Bumrah. Carey has moved to 61 off 62, what an innings this is from the Aussie keeper, Nathan Lyon at the other end on none off 10.

Australia 432/8 in 109 overs

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: There it is! Mitchell Starc caught behind and Bumrah continues to provide the goods for India with almost no support at the other end. It was full and outside off, doesn't shape in and Starc pushes at it. Nicks it through to the wicketkeeper.

Starc c Pant b Bumrah 18 (30)

Australia 423/8 in 106 overs

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Bumrah's second over of the day is a maiden but Jadeja is properly copping it at the other end. Carey gets off strike first ball and Starc is kept quiet for the next three before he unleashes a slog sweep to send the fifth over deep square leg for a six. He keeps strike with a single. Australia have come out with the intent to attack.

Australia 419/7 in 105 overs

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Jadeja bowls the second over of the day, Carey sweeps him fine for the first boundary of the day and that is his fifty. He has got to 51 in 53 balls with his sixth four.

Australia 411/7 in 103 overs

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Here we go then, Jasprit Bumrah steaming in for the 102nd over, his 26th. Mitchell Starc on strike on seven off seven, Alex Carey at the other end on 45 off 47.

Australia 405/7

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: The Indian players are all out there in whites and so it seems quite clear that Australia are not declaring. They start the day on a score of 405/7 in 101 overs, with Alex Carey batting on 45 off 47 balls and Mitchell Starc at the other end on a run-a-ball seven.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Well, a five-minute delay is the maximum. We can see the players out there in their whites. The rain has cleared off and there are no covers at all on the field. Quite a nice turn of events here.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: The ground remains uncovered. Umpires have taken a walk around and Richard Illingworth was then seen talking to some Indian players.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Remember, every day of this match is scheduled to start at 5.20am, with the first session lasting two and a half hours, to make up for the lost time on Day 1 in which only 13.4 overs could be bowled. Well, the rain is coming and going at the moment and so it is quite unlikely that play will start on time.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: It is quite windy and that seems to have blown away the showers. In fact it is also a little sunny at the moment. That is how it is expected to be for the rest of the day today - stop-start

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Well, it had to happen. And it is absolutely pelting down, stormy weather in fact. The players have aborted their warm-ups.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: After Jasprit Bumrah struck twice early on Day 2 at the Gabba in Brisbane, removing both the openers in successive overs, reducing Australia to 38 for two in the 19th over of the first innings, Steve Smith and Labuschagne weathered the storm as the hosts steadily moved to 69 for two in 32 overs.

Siraj, who bowled the next over, conceded a leg bye that brought Labuschagne on strike. He then walked over to the striker's end and engaged in a fiery exchange before the fast bowler flipped the bails just like former England bowler Stuart Broad had done in the 2023 Ashes series against the Aussie batter. After Siraj left, Labuschagne flipped the bails again, leaving the Gabba crowd quite thrilled.

Labuschagne didn't fall in that over, but he did in the next one against Reddy.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: It remains cloudy but dry in the area around the Gabba but the showers are pelting down in other parts of the city.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: There are quite a few contrasting opinions on the shaky nature of the Indian team for this tour, and for the New Zealand series at home before it. The only part on which there seems to be a universal consensus is the fact that Jasprit Bumrah is a bona fide legend. The batters could hardly leave a ball sent in by him over the course of his 25 overs. He took eight wickets in the first Test in Perth, four in the second in Adelaide and now has five in the first innings of the third Test, with more potentially to come today.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: While Bumrah and Deep kept the batters under pressure, the same can't be said for the rest of the Indian bowling lineup. Mohammed Siraj went at 4.34 in 22.2 overs, finishing Day 2 with figures of 1/97. Nitish Kumar Reddy had an economy of 5.00 in 13 overs while Ravindra Jadeja went at 4.75 in 16. Reddy and Jadeja conceded a combined 141 runs over a 29 overs, while picking up one wicket.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Akash Deep finished Day 2 with figures of 0/78 in 24.4 overs. His economy of 3.16 was only bettered by Bumrah's scarcely believable 2.88 in 25 overs. Deep forced 45 false shots, beat the batters umpteen times, and yet he had no wickets to show for it. Just to put things in perspective, Bumrah induced 46 false shots and had five wickets.

India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: It is humid but rain-free for now at the Gabba. But that is only for now. Showers have been forecast in the morning and it very much looks like that could be the case at the moment. Clouds are hanging above the stadium.
