3rd Test: Rain Forces Early Lunch After Australia Bowl Out India For 260, Take 185-run Lead
Boxing Day Test: Rain and severe weather conditions have forced the umpires to opt for a lunch break on Day Five of the third Test between Australia and India at the Gabba here on Wednesday. Before lightning and thunderstorms followed by rain at the Gabba took centrestage, Australia clinched a first-innings lead of 185 after bowling out India for 260 in 78.5 overs in their first innings. Resuming from 252/9, after avoiding the follow-on, Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah were at it again to reduce the deficit.
Akash and Bumrah added eight more runs in four overs and took their last-wicket partnership to 47 before Travis Head snapped the final wicket of the Indian innings. Coming from round the wicket, Head got a slider to move across Akash and beat his outside edge after drawing him forward.
In this process, Akash’s back foot came out of the crease and Alex Carey completed a sharp stumping to end India’s innings and give Australia a big lead, as the batter was dismissed for 31 off 44 balls.
