    What's the story

    Australia's pace attack ruled the third day of the ongoing Test match against India at The Gabba in Brisbane.

    The home side's bowlers left India reeling at 51/4, with the visitors trailing by a mammoth 394 runs.

    KL Rahul managed to stay put with an unbeaten score of 33.

    Earlier in the day, Australia finished their first innings at 445/10.

    Notaly, rain washed out the major part of the day's play.

    Bowling performance

    Bumrah shines as Australia extend lead

    Earlier in the day, Australia resumed their innings at 405/7.

    Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers for India, taking six wickets for 76 runs.

    He dismissed Starc and Alex Carey, who added a crucial 70 runs to Australia's total.

    Mohammed Siraj also left his mark by bowling Nathan Lyon for two, ending with figures of 2/97.

    The Aussies were hence folded for 445.

    Early dismissals

    Australia's bowlers strike early against India

    The Australian bowling attack, spearheaded by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, struck early in India's innings.

    Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for four and Shubman Gill for one, both caught by Mitchell Marsh.

    Hazlewood continued his impressive form by removing Virat Kohli for three runs, marking another low score for the Indian batter.

    Rishabh Pant was the other Indian to be dismissed on the day as Pat Cummins trapped him.

    Weather interruptions

    Rain disrupts play at the Gabba

    The third day of the Test match was marred by frequent rain interruptions, forcing an early tea break.

    Despite these disruptions, Australia's bowlers kept consistent pressure on India's batting lineup.

    The day ended with skipper Rohit Sharma and Rahul returning unbeaten. It must be noted that the ongoing encounter has high stakes with the series being levelled at 1-1.

    Carey 

    Carey's 70 powers Australia

    While this was his ninth fifty, he owns a solitary century in this format.

    Against India, he has raced to 312 Test runs at an average of 28.36. This was his second fifty against the opposition.
