Australia and India have already traded crushing victories in the latest edition of this famous clash. Jasprit Bumrah and the tourists blew the Aussies away in Perth, before Pat Cummins' men cruised to a 10-wicket victory with the pink ball in Adelaide. Travis Head with bat and Mitchell Starc with ball were the difference makers, with India powerless to vanquish the threat they posed.
The home side really got their teeth into the tourists' bowlers at the Gabbatoir. Outside of Jasprit Bumrah's five-fer, Aussie batting dominated as centuries from Steve Smith and Travis Head helped take the total of the 400-mark.
In reply, India's batters struggled and it looked like the Aussies were setting them up for a follow-on. But some 10-th wicket heroics from Bumrah and Akash Deep saved the tourists from that fate. With all the play that has been removed from the game due to the foul Queensland weather, a draw now looks inevitable.
