Cricket: Rain and bad light ruined the final day of the first test between England and West Indies at Lord's with the players taking the field for only 79 minutes.
West Indies, set 401 to win, were 89 without loss when the teams departed for the second and final time in the afternoon session.
Steady drizzle ended the morning's play after 34 minutes and bad light brought a premature close after 45 minutes in the afternoon. Play was finally called off at 5.50pm.
Chris Gayle was unbeaten on 47 and his opening partner Daren Ganga, who brought up his 2,000th test run by slashing a Steve Harmison no-ball over the slips for four, had scored 31.
The teams meet again at Headingley in Leeds on Friday in the second of the four-test series.
England captain Michael Vaughan, who fractured a finger, is likely to return for the Headingley test in place of Owais Shah, who made six and four as a replacement for injured all rounder Andrew Flintoff.
Flintoff, who failed a fitness test on his left ankle before the Lord's match, played as a batsman for Lancashire at the weekend and will be reassessed before the second test.
Opening bowler Matthew Hoggard played no further part in the match after leaving the field with a thigh injury on Saturday and is unlikely to play in Leeds.
