India vs Australia, Weather Forecast 3rd Test, Day 5: India displayed remarkable grit on Day 4 of the third Test at The Gabba, Brisbane as Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep's crucial partnership ensured the visitors avoided the follow-on.

After Australia dismissed key batters KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, Bumrah and Akash Deep stood firm, stitching together an unbeaten 39-run stand for the final wicket on a rain-interrupted day.

Their efforts drew loud applause from the Indian dressing room, though the team still trails by 193 runs.

Brisbane is likely to experience most of its rainfall during the early hours of Wednesday morning, Day 5 of the game. The chance of rain in the morning stands at 90%, with Accuweather issuing a minor flood advisory for the region.

WTC Final At Stake

If the final day of the third Test between India and Australia in Brisbane is washed out, the match will end in a draw. As a result, the series will remain tied at 1-1 heading into the fourth Test in Sydney. Should India go on to win both of the remaining matches, they will secure the series 3-1 and automatically book their place in the World Test Championship final. However, if India manage to win just one of the last two Tests, they will still retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Big Blow For Australia

Australia are most likely to miss the services of Josh Hazlewood due to a calf injury.
