Here's the moment of the day, a diving catch by Suresh Raina:
Rain break: Australia 136/5 after 17
Dunk falls as Suresh Raina takes a diving catch at point. But then - the big development. Rain comes in to sweep the ground again and the umpires lead the teams off. Australia end with 136/5 in 17 overs.
Hopefully the rain lets up soon again. And we get a rain-shortened chase where India get a target revised by DRS.
