West Indies v England 3rd Test Drawn

Antigua: England and the West Indies drew the third Test in dramatic circumstances when play was called off due to bad light with four overs still to bowl.

West Indies lead the five-match series 1-0. "I was in my zone. I have worked on my batting for the past few months and now it's bearing fruits," said Daren Powell who finished unbeaten on 22 off 55 balls in a knock spread over 65 minutes at the Antigua Recreation Ground.

Last man Fidel Edwards made five but more importantly stayed at the wicket for 34 minutes. Adding to England's problems was a worrying hip injury suffered by Andrew Flintoff which could rule him out of the fourth Test in Barbados from February 26. He will undergo a scan on Friday.

Star batsman Kevin Pietersen took a nasty blow to his hand while fielding close in as England crowded the last two West Indies batsmen.

The other two Tests in the series take place at Kensington Oval in Barbados from February 26 to March 2, and Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad from March 6 to 10.

Earlier, pace bowler Stuart Broad collected the prized scalps of century-maker Ramnaresh Sarwan and the durable Shivnarine Chanderpaul to boost England's hopes.

Brief Score: England 566/9 dec (Strauss 169, Collingwood 113) and 221/8 dec drew with West Indies 285 and 370/9 (Sarwan 106).
