Marnus roasted as first day of third Test ruined by Brisbane rain

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has mercilessly savaged an Australian cricket star during the third Test in Brisbane.

The first day of the third Test has turned into a dour affair with only 13.2 overs being bowled due to heavy rain falling in Brisbane.

India won the toss and elected to field in a move that raised eyebrows among several legends of the game.

Despite the pitch being green, the ball did minimal for the tourists as Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney ticked the scoreboard over.

Play was suspended after only 33 deliveries being bowled before the teams headed back out, but then came the worst of it.

Heavy rain belted the Gabba with a reported 40mm falling in an hour. The rain did not relent and despite some late optimism, play was finally called with Australia sitting at 0/28.
