The Gabba Test is set for a thrilling fourth day of action but Australia’s chase could be halted by a storm hovering over Brisbane.
The hosts were 2-60 at stumps chasing a 216-run target for victory and to secure a 2-0 series victory over the touring West Indies outfit.
While day four is scheduled to kick off at 3pm (AEDT), the Bureau of Meteorology is predicted between 27 to 79mm of rain to fall on Sunday.

A “possibly severe” thunderstorm is also being forecasted with “very high change of showers” and a top of 30 degrees which could see the summer’s final Test conclude on day five.
Steve Smith (33*) and Cameron Green (9*) are the batters currently at the crease, with the hosts needed 156 runs to record another Test victory.
