SYDNEY (Dunya News) - The start of the play on the third day of third test between Pakistan and Australia was delayed due to rain, reported Dunya News.

It had rained in the morning and the outfield was wet so umpires decided to inspect before allowing the players to continue. But it started raining again so covers were brought on.
