Follow live: Rain ends Aussie hopes for miracle win on final day of Third Test against India in Brisbane

A very frustrating match ends in a soggy draw but the silver lining is there will be no dead rubbers in this series.

Australia now need to win the final two matches or get a win and a draw to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The next Test is in Melbourne on Boxing Day.

Until then, farewell!

Travis Head has alleviated fears around a groin injury.

Ravi Ashwin has informed media in the post-match press conference that he has retired from all forms of International cricket effective immediatly.

He took no questions but received applause as he departed.

He was also spotted speaking to Nathan Lyon after the match was called.

Travis Head is named Man of the Match again for his 150 in the first innings.

While the match overall was destroyed by rain there were plenty of moments to remember and that could be important for the rest of the series.

Travis Head is dominating with another century while Steve Smith finally broke through with the bat for Test match ton 33.

Smith also reeled in a pearler of a catch on day four.

The Aussie staffers are all shaking hands and as a lightening warning comes through it looks like the match has been called.

Australia did their best to set up a tantalising finish but Brisbane’s weather gets the last say, ruining what could have been an epic Test match.

It leaves the series tied at 1-1 heading to the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.

Nothing has changed at the Gabba as dark clouds circle and the drizzle remains.

It looks wet again in Brisbane and if they stay off for much longer there will be no chance of a return.

While we wait for news on the Test another West Australian has joined the Bash.

They have called the Tea break in the hopes the light improves.
