Windies get a washout

EAST LONDON: Rain prevented any play on the scheduled third day of the four-day cricket tour match between West Indies and South African club side Border at Mercedes Benz Park yesterday. The umpires called off play for the day at lunch time, due to a wet outfield and continuous rain. The West Indies had ended day two on 168 for three in their second innings — an overall lead of 195 runs — with Ramnaresh Sarwan (71) and Vasbert Drakes (24) the not out batsmen.
