Aus 235-all out (98.4 ovs) vs India 250 | Scorecard

Rain continues to play spoilsport as the start of India's second innings has been delayed because of rain, forcing the umpires to call for lunch on Day 3.

Australia were bowled out for 235 in their first innings with Travis Head top scoring with 72, while Nathan Lyon contributed with a vital 24 not out at the end to cut down India's lead to just 15 runs.

In the rain-hit morning session, only 10.4 overs were possible in which Australia scored 44 runs, while losing their last three wickets.

The post-lunch session will begin at 1.52pm local time (8.52am IST) if there is no further rain.
