Australia scored 166/2 after a four-hour rain interruption on the opening day of the third Test between India and Australia here on Thursday.

Groundsmen at the Sydney Cricket Ground worked relentlessly, including using a blower to go with the super-sopper, to get the surface prepared for resumption at 3 pm local time. Australia won the toss on the Sydney Cricket Ground and opted to bat first. Will Pucovski, making his Test debut, scored a half-century, despite a failure from the returning David Warner. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith took the innings to the close of play.
