A steady drizzle had stopped play briefly in the sixth over before a second spell heavy showers prevented any play on day one.

Openers Usman Khawaja (19 batting) and Nathan McSweeney (4 batting) negotiated the new ball well in the opening session.

Pacers Jasprit Bumrah (0/8 in 6 overs), Mohammed Siraj (0/13 in 4 overs) and Akash Deep (0/2 in 3.2 overs) operated for India.

Resuming after the first rain break, Akash Deep and Siraj were beginning to get the ball to nip around before the heavens opened up.

The five-match series stands tied at 1-1.

Brief Score:

Australia 28 for no loss in 13.2 overs (Usman Khawaja 19 not out; Jasprit Bumrah 0/8).
