Cricket-Rain halts third Australia-India test after lunch

(Reuters) - Rain delayed the resumption of play after lunch on day four of the third test between Australia and India in Brisbane on Tuesday.

India were 167 for six in reply to Australia's first innings 445 at the Gabba, still needing 79 runs to avoid the follow-on.

Ravindra Jadeja was 41 not out at the break, with fellow all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy on seven.

The series is level at 1-1.
