IND vs AUS (India National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team) 3rd Test Day 3 Live Updates: Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey smashed his seventh Test fifty as the third day’s play resumed at the Gabba. The hosts have already piled up a mountain of scores and whatever the tailenders add to the board will be a huge plus for Australia.
India will look to make quick work of the remaining Australian batters and get going with the bat as soon as possible. The Aussies who already have a 400+ score will look to add some quick runs to their score and focus on their bowling.
There is a slight chance that rain might interrupt the day’s play, but the chances of precipitation decrease drastically in the afternoon. It remains to be seen if there will be overcast conditions, possibly benefiting the bowling side.
India’s XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep

Cummins then approaches one of the players carrying the drinks, potentially to relay a message at the end of this over. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood remains padded up. Uh oh, it has started to drizzle.
