Scorecard

More bad weather in Brisbane ruined a potentially intriguing finale to the third Test between Australia and India and left the series tied at 1-1.

After gaining a first-innings lead of 185, Australia wickets tumbled as they chased quick runs in their second innings in an attempt to force a result at the Gabba.

They slipped to 33-5, Jasprit Bumrah ripping through the top order again, before captain Pat Cummins slogged 22 from 10 balls and declared on 89-7.

That positive move set India 275 to win from a minimum of 54 overs but bad light stopped play with the tourists 8-0 in the third over of their chase.

Rain, which has decimated much of the Test, arrived shortly after and the players shook hands at 15:30 local time.

The five-match series resumes in Melbourne for the Boxing Day Test on 26 December (23:30 GMT, 25 December), for which a crowd close to 90,000 is expected for the opening day.
