Brisbane: India were all out for 260 in response to Australia’s 445 on day five of the third Test here on Wednesday.
Resuming the day at 252 for nine, India added eight runs in 24 balls.
Jasprit Bumrah (10 not out off 38) and Akash Deep (31 off 44), who helped India avoid the follow-on on day four, shared 47 runs off 78 balls for the final wicket.
Heavy rain stopped the game and the match is heading for a draw.
If the third Test ends in a draw, India will need to win at least one of the last two matches to keep their hopes alive. Should India win all of their remaining matches, their Percentage of Points (PCT) will be better than Australia‘s, provided Australia loses both of their upcoming matches against Sri Lanka.
