Incessant rains played spoilsport on Day 1 of the third round of the tussle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as only 13.2 overs could be bowled with Australia reaching 28/0 after being sent in on a Gabba wicket, still sporting a tinge of green and under overcast conditions.
The first day of the two-day pink ball game between India and the Australian Prime Minister's XI was washed out due to rains. A steady drizzle bedding in from almost 10am right through to about 5.30pm ensured there was no chance of play during the day at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.

At least 18 persons, including 14 children, died in separate rain-related mishaps across Madhya Pradesh in the past 24 hours.
