Follow live: Rain ends Aussie hopes for miracle win on final day of Third Test against India in Brisbane

It’s 2.30pm in the afternoon in Brisbane and they are off for bad light.

Once light is too dark it is very hard to get back on the field.

There’s still time so hopefully they can get back on.

India are making a wiser start here than Australia.

They know 54 overs is a long time and they can afford to take 10 to settle in.

275 is a mediocre chase in white-ball cricket and when this red-ball gets soft it’ll get easy.

Jaiswal sees off Starc’s first ball with a block.

India need 275 to win.

The Aussies have called it!

India need 275 from 54 overs, at around 5.1 per over. (That’s if the rain stays away, and it continues to threaten)

They’d be an unlikely prospect to chase it, but can Australia snare some early wickets to spark their own hopes of an unlikely victory here?

We’ll restart in a few minutes as Starc and Cummins take the new ball.

Cummins looks to go after one too many, and skies one to KL Rahul at mid-off to hand Bumrah a third scalp.

It’s 7-85 and no declaration yet. We’re unlikely to see the injured Josh Hazlewood bat, so we’re likely down to Australia’s last two wickets.

And another 12 off the next over as the lead swells to 270.

Cummins is now Australia’s unlikely leading scorer with 22 - off just 9 balls - with Alex Carey in support on 17.

The skipper continues the aggressive approach as the declaration looms large!

Cummins smokes a cow-corner six to help Australia take 13 runs from the Akash over.

It’s 6-73, with the lead up to 258. 58 overs left in the day.

Travis Head departs for 17 after a couple of wildly aggressive shots, likely signalling the Aussies’ intent on declaring soon.

Drinks come onto the field, and there may be a bit of life in this match yet if the weather can hold out!

It’s 6-60 - a lead of 245. There’s 59 overs left in the day, with two for a change of innings.

So perhaps a target of somewhere in the vicinity of 280 for India to chase in 50 overs is in the Aussies’ thinking? Giving themselves enough time to put the tourists to the sword with the ball?

South Aussie duo Head (13) and Carey (7) are looking to steady the ship here.

The Aussie lead is 229, with 61 overs left in the day - though conditions have darkened a fraction here as more clouds threaten the general area.

It’s another catch for Pant and another Aussie wicket!

Smith departs in similar fashion to his dismissal in Adelaide, getting strangled down the leg side. Siraj is the bowler.

He’s gone for four, and it’s remarkably 5-33!

We were hoping for plenty of action on the final day, but we certainly weren’t expecting this...
