The bad news is that the rain has prevented us from getting any more action here at the Gabba.
It's a pity because the match was evenly poised and both the teams fancied their chances.
The positives from this game for Australia would be, Brett Lee's five wicket haul.
Gambhir and Rohit Sharma looked very comfortable while they were at the crease.
Ishant Sharma and Sreesanth worked up good pace and unsettled the Australian batsmen.
Goodbye for today, we hope to have your company for the 2nd CB ODI between India and Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Keep your fingers crossed we should have better weather conditions here at Brisbane.
It's raining again here at the Gabba again and with these showers, it's looking very unlikely that we'll be able to get a result in.
