Here’s our report of a frustrating, stop-start day at the Gabba. Geoff has also written a brilliant piece on Virat Kohli which will be up on the site soon.
That’s all for today’s blog. Martin Pegan and Angus Fontaine are on duty tomorrow, hopefully reporting on actual cricket rather than the weather. Thanks for your company today, goodnight.

Only 33.1 overs were possible on day three, though that was time enough for Australia to take total control of the game. The three quicks bowled beautifully with the new ball to reduce India to 51 for 4 at the close, and Australia’s victory chances depend on the Brisbane weather on the last two days.
If the forecast is accurate they face a race against time to first make India follow on and then bowl them out a second time. At least they’ve given themselves a chance; and if they do pull it off, it’ll be one for the books.
