Australia have sent-in Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney to open the innings, and the duo will be looking to provide the hosts with a strong first-wicket stand, as Mohammed Siraj will be under immense pressure.
The commentators hinted that the rain is merely 'passing showers' and that the play will resume soon.
However, the rain was already predicted and it might end up interrupting the play again.
Covers Removed; Play To Resume At 06:44 AM IST
Some great news for the fans in attendance at the Gabba, as the sun is out, and fans all over the world will be delighted by the fact that the covers are being removed. Mohammed Siraj will be completing his over, and India will be hoping that the right-arm fast-bowler catches rhythm as soon as possible.
The rain has hit again and this time, it's raining cats and dogs, and early Lunch was called. After the conclusion of first session, India and Australia still wait in the wings, as possibility of play on Day 1 looks a bit of non-possibility.
Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja have survived the opening hour under overcast conditions, as the Indian pace attack of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Akash Deep failed to capitalise on the conditions and hand Australia early jitters.
It will be interesting to see whether there will be some sort of play before Tea session. Rohit Sharma's men cannot afford to either draw or lose any of their last three Tests, as their WTC 2025 Final destiny is in their hands for now.
