Andrew McGlashan says "some more rain on the horizon. This could be heavier"

The drizzle has returned and the players are running off. The rain has picked up in intensity and the overhead conditions look dark.

It has become dark out there, and rain has come along with it too. The batters jog off, and the fielders are also making their way in. The groundstaff bring their buggies onto the park swiftly to cover the pitch.

AUS 28/0 (13.2)

Day 1: Rain stops play

11:55 Local Time, 01:55 GMT, 07:25 IST: A lot of intensity in this spell of rain. The groundstaffs are nailing the covers to ensure that they do stay in place. The original lunch break was at 12:20 pm. I'll not be surprised if they do take it on time.

Chin: "Am sitting in Brisbane airport and it's absolutely bucketing down here. Flights getting delayed one after the other. Amazing to see no rain 25 minutes away, unless its headed there soon" -- I'm hearing that this could be a longer delay.

Vishwesh Gaur : "This is much better. One thing that Indian bowlers of 2017-2022 did very well was being disciplined. Even if the wickets were not coming, they used to pound on that good line and length."

Samarth: "Who benefits the most from these on and off rain delays?" -- on this occasion, I suspect it is the batting side. Siraj and Akash were just finding their rhythm

A good toss to lose for Australia? Both captains wanted to bowl first, but the pitch doesn't have any demons as such.
