9.55 am: No phrase but on Saini

Navdeep Saini hobbled off the field with a groin issue after bowling simply 7.5 overs yesterday. The final official phrase we heard was he had gone for scans. It appears unlikely he’ll bowl immediately.

9.45 am: Labuschagne rides his luck

Luck has gone Marnus Labuschagne’s manner proper by this sequence, and it continued yesterday when Ajinkya Rahane put down a sitter off him at gully, when Australia have been 87 for 3. However he batted fantastically to money in on that fortune, as Dan Brettig observes here.

As a compulsive tinkerer and planner, Labuschagne loved the necessity to make plans extra spontaneously in opposition to a much less acquainted assault, and in addition on a Brisbane pitch fairly in contrast to any he has seen earlier than.

“Undoubtedly immediately I needed to formulate some plans on the run and hold understanding the state of affairs of what they have been doing and I feel that is the a part of the sport that’s actually pleasant, you have to learn the state of affairs on the market,” he stated. “You possibly can take a look at stuff on a display screen and see guys bowl, however solely you already know on the market with the texture of how you are able to do issues and what you are able to do in a different way to make life simpler on the market.”

I significantly loved how he dealt with Washington Sundar’s leg-stump assault, choosing off something remotely brief by rocking again, exposing all his stumps, and punching by the sparsely populated off aspect.

9.35 am: Can Australia drive dwelling their benefit?

Morning, everybody. Australia are 274 for five in a single day, and are most probably the happier dressing room on the Gabba. However contemplating the inexperience operating by their injury-ravaged bowling assault, India might be happy they are not completely out of it but. Cameron Inexperienced and Tim Paine have placed on 61, nonetheless, and the destiny of this Check match could nicely final in how far Australia’s sixth-wicket pair can lengthen their partnership.
