India vs Australia live score updates 3rd Test day 5
On Day fifth and final day of India vs Australia 3rd Test, a great contest between bat on ball take place with the hosts still have a chance to churn out a result from a Test match which has been largely marred by the inclement weather conditions at The Gabba in Brisbane. Akash Deep was stumped in the fourth over on Day 5 and India managed 260 runs in first innings, conceding 185-run lead to Australia. Akash along with Jasprit Bumrah stitched a 47-run stand for the final wicket and allowed India to avoid the follow on.
The match officials have called for an early lunch as groundstaff needed time to preparing the ground after the rainfall.
Australia would have wanted to bat aggressively and set a target of around 290-300 for India. However, lightning and rain looming in horizon, Aussies' second innings has been delayed.
While a draw is the most likely outcome in Brisbane, given the weather conditions and the amount of cricket yet to come, both teams will not shy away from fancying their chances of a win on Wednesday.
