Local hero Usman Khawaja and young Nathan McSweeney displayed sound defensive technique against Jasprit Bumrah, but persistent rain played havoc with the opening day of the third Test, allowing only 13.2 overs of play in which Australia scored 28 for no loss against India on Saturday.
The gloomy weather didn't allow any action after the rain-curtailed first session. The weather in Brisbane indicates a start-stop game throughout the next four days.
Khawaja (19 batting, 47 balls) and McSweeney (4 batting, 33 balls) traded aggression with caution, but the senior left-hander still got a couple of boundaries when Mohammed Siraj pitched it short.
While India skipper Rohit Sharma would be happy that Australia didn't score way too many runs, his bowlers did not force the opposition openers to play more deliveries.
