Aus 405-7 (101 Ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Good morning and welcome to the third day of the Brisbane Test at the Gabba and it has started to rain. Players were forced to abandon their warm-up sessions due to the inclement weather.

On Day 2, Australia, led by centuries from Travis Head (152) and Steve Smith (101), continued their dominant run against India. Head, in particular, has been in exceptional form, scoring his third century in his last six innings against the Indian team.

India will need to put up a strong batting performance to claw back into the game. Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has outlined key strategies that the visitors can adopt to turn the match in their favour.

However, the persistent rain forecast for the next three days could significantly impact the outcome of the Test, which is currently under Australia's control.
