Starc into the attack now.

Ind 27/1 after 13 overs: Another maiden over. If Green can keep doing this, he will allow Paine to really attack from the other end.

Ind 27/1 after 13 overs: Maiden over from Cummins to Gill.

Ind 27/1 after 12 overs: Green started off by straying onto the pads and Gill helped himself to three but then settled into a better line with Pujara on strike.

Green into the attack. Starc is struggling with a hamstring injury.

Ind 24/1 after 11 overs: Pujara doing Pujara things. He will take his time. 0 runs from 10 balls. Cummins bowling well at him.

Ind 24/1 after 10 overs: Some width from Hazlewood and Gill throws his hands at it. Gets four. He shouldn’t get too passive or he will start to feel more pressure. Not everyone is a Pujara.

Ind 18/1 after 8.1 overs: WICKET! It is that man Cummins again. Rohit Sharma would have felt he needed to play at it. Got the edge through to the keeper. Rohit c Paine b Cummins 7(21)

Ind 18/0 after 8 overs: Hazlewood still searching for the best line and length. One run from the over.

Ind 17/0 after 7 overs: Pat Cummins comes up with a gem to beat Shubman Gill. Seems to be operating in a good rhythm. But the ball hasn’t done much. India’s openers look calm... for now.

Ind 17/0 after 6 overs: Steady stuff by India. No big appeals. No false shots played yet. The effect of the roller will still be there.

Ind 14/0 after 5 overs: Hazlewood slowly zoning in on the right areas. He hasn’t got much movement in the air or off the pitch yet. Cummins trying to find the right length too.

Ind 11/0 after 4 overs: Australia have started with Hazlewood and Cummins. Starc does have the hamstring issue to contend with but these two have been their best bowlers. Rohit Sharma and Gill will look to get through the initial period.

Ind 4/0 after 2 overs: And here we go. India needs to put the rain out of their mind and just bat. The pitch should be okay initially but it was playing some tricks yesterday. Still, it was possible to bat.

4.55 am: The all-important weather update. It seems like things have cleared up.

4.50 am: Ahead of Day 5, Shardul Thakur: “Ajinkya Rahane didn’t say much.” That said, India are backing themselves.

Day 4 review: Mohammed Siraj took his first five-wicket haul in just his third Test as India bowled Australia out for 294 to set up an enthralling final day of the four-match series in Brisbane on Monday.

With the series locked at 1-1, India need 328 runs for victory or to bat all day for a draw to pull off the remarkable feat of retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy despite being severely weakened by injuries and captain Virat Kohli’s paternity leave.

Siraj had Josh Hazlewood caught on the boundary to end Australia’s innings and return figures of 5-73 as clouds formed over the Gabba. Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill then faced just 11 balls, reaching four without loss, before light rain ended play.

Siraj and fellow quick Shardul Thakur (4-61), playing only his second Test, were exceptional as they kept the Australian scoring rate largely under control while taking wickets at regular intervals.

“It was my dad’s dream that I should play for India, that the whole country will watch his son play,” said Siraj, whose father died in November.

“How I wish he was here today with me, he would have been very happy. It is thanks to his blessings that I could take five wickets today. I am speechless, I am unable to speak about my performance.”

Although most of the Australian batting order got starts, only Steve Smith converted and even he fell for 55 when surprised by a Thakur short ball.

Australia need to win to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but, with more rain forecast for Tuesday, India will fancy their chances of surviving for the draw.

The highest run-chase to achieve victory at the Gabba is the 236 that Australia scored to beat the West Indies in 1951.

But as India have shown since their disastrous capitulation in the first Test in Adelaide, when they were bowled out for 36, they are never out of the contest.

They came back and won the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, and then batted for more than a day to draw Sydney’s third Test.
