Indian pacers are toiling hard in the middle, and looking to justify Rohit Sharma's call of bowling first after winning the toss. Australian openers have had the luck of the green their way, while Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah have managed to come close to claiming a wicket.
The game has resumed, with India desperately eying an early wicket. So far, the pitch has been flat, and both Indian bowlers have barely managed to get any swing. This could spell trouble for India, who opted to bowl under helpful bowling conditions.
The rains have gone away, and the covers are slowly coming off the ground. However, the dark clouds persist at one end of The Gabba. The play should resume in about 10 minutes.
As expected rains have managed to play spoilsport in the first session of play already. The slight drizzle has ensured that players walk off the field, and the groundsmen start covering the pitch and the ground. This is expected to be a passing shower.
Both Australian openers have done well not to hand Indian pacers an early breakthrough. Both Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah came narrowly close to tasting first-blood, but lady luck smiled in Australia's favour.
For Australia, Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney would want to weather the early storm away and build on from their stands from the Adelaide Test. Jasprit Bumrah as expected has started the proceedings for India, with Rohit Sharma and Co eying early wickets.
