Play has resumed early at the Gabba on day three of the first Test – scroll down to the comments section to join Geoff Lemon for our live blog commentary and to keep an eye on the scores with The Roar.

Australia started the day at 3/154, with the new captain Michael Clarke and the former captain Ricky Ponting at the crease. Could this be Ponting’s day of salvation, or would the Black Caps hit back? Match finely poised.
