Rain disrupts Windies-Sth Africa Test

No play was possible before lunch on the fourth day of the second Test between South Africa and the West Indies at St George's Park on Monday because of rain and a wet outfield.

With most of the second day having been washed out, the chances of a result were receding rapidly, although the weather appeared to be clearing and the covers were removed.

The West Indies finished the third day on 2-144 in reply to South Africa's 8-(dec)417.
