Sam Konstas and Campbell Kellaway capped a Lucknow runfest with unbeaten cameos as Australia A's four-day clash with India A finished in a draw.

The openers were 27 and 24 not out as the visitors reached 0-56 when play came to a halt on another rain-hit day, after the hosts had declared one run behind Australia on 7-531.

Dhruv Jurel (140) and Devdutt Padikkal (150) were the standouts while Australian spinner Corey Rocchiccioli (3-159 from 36.1 overs) was the only multiple wicket taker. 

Konstas, gunning to retain his Test opening berth for the Ashes after a poor tour of the West Indies, and Josh Philippe scored first-innings hundreds.

The teams begin another four-day clash from Tuesday and will also play three one-day matches.
