Weather update: Hot, humid and maybe a thunderstorm
Good morning
G’day everyone and welcome to our live coverage of the third Test between Australia and India at the Gabba in Brisbane. I’m Vince Rugari, and I’m very much looking forward to this.
The series is locked at 1-1 after Perth and Adelaide, each side taking a comprehensive win thus far. You could make a case for any result here. This Test looks like it could be the hinge point of the series – although a lot will depend on the weather.
Typical of this time of year in south-east Queensland, afternoon storms are always a threat. That’ll mean occasional interruptions to play, probably, but also classic swing-bowling conditions on what appears to be the usual green-top wicket in Woollongabba – which makes the toss so important. And that’s happening in just a few minutes.
I’m taking this in from the Ashfield bureau. Dan Brettig and Tom Decent are in Brisbane and will chime in with regular updates from the ground. Play begins at 11.20am AEDT, or an hour earlier up there.
