South Africa v West Indies, 2nd Test, Port Elizabeth

Rain Force Draw South Africa - West Indies 2nd Test

Port Elizabeth: No play possible in fifth and final day of second Test between South Africa and the West Indies at St George's Park on Tuesday.

South Africa's hopes of victory on day five of the second test against West Indies were thwarted by heavy overnight rain and a wet outfield which prevented any play.

The top-ranked Proteas had hoped to wrap up the West Indian first innings with the tourists on 275 for 9 before scoring quickly to set up a testing afternoon for the visitors to survive.

Play was called off just after 1300 local time with two pools of water in the outfield showing no signs of drying out sufficiently to get play.

South Africa lead the three-match series 1-0 with the final match starting in Cape Town on Friday.
