Rains halts play in Australia-India 1st Test
ADELAIDE, Australia, Dec 8, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Rain stopped play on the
third day of the opening Test between Australia and India Saturday, with the
umpires calling a halt after Mitchell Starc was caught.
Play had started 45 minutes late and they managed to get 3.4 overs in
before light drizzle began falling again.
Australia were 204-8 in their first innings in reply to India’s 250, with
Travis Head not out 66.
Starc added seven runs to his overnight eight before he was caught behind
by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant after he got a thin edge to a Jasprit Bumrah
delivery.
