India and Australia playing XI:
Australia playing XI: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey(w), Pat Cummins(c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
India playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep.
Australian openers Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney survived a testing period from Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep to reach 28/0 in the 13.2 overs. It was Rohit Sharma, who won the toss and elected to field first in Brisbane, given the overcast conditions and the green surface. Despite favourable conditions, the pace trio failed to extract a wicket.
An early start is scheduled for day two with 98 overs set to be bowled. However, it is likely to be another stop-start day.
