PORT OF SPAIN: Heavy rain threatened the prospects of a decisive result in the second Test between West Indies and Australia at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad on Wednesday.

Less than 31 overs were completed by tea on the fourth day when a second torrential storm drenched the ground, forcing the teams to scurry from the field.

When play was stopped, Australia were 73 for three in their second innings, leading by 127 runs overall with Ricky Ponting unbeaten on 32 and Michael Clarke not out three.

West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach captured all three wickets to put the brakes on Australia’s push for a series- clinching victory.

Roach, who bagged five wickets in Australia’s first innings, took two wickets in his first over before lunch and collected a third in the shortened second session.

Australia polished off the West Indian innings in the first over of the day when left arm spinner Michael Beer trapped Carlton Baugh lbw for 21. (Reuters)
