West Indies v England 3rd Test at St John's
WI v ENG, 3rd Test, St John's: West Indies drew with England (WI 1:0)
19 Feb, 2009
West Indies drew with England on a thrilling last day of the third test at Antigua Recreation Ground on Thursday.
West Indies, set an improbable 503 for victory, finished at 370-9 but the tailenders held out the English for the entire last session, and in fading light for the last half-hour.
England twice declared at 566-9 and 221-8, while West Indies scored 285 in its first innings. West Indies won the first test in Jamaica by an innings and 23 runs, and the second was abandoned as a draw on Friday when the outfield was deemed dangerous at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
The fourth test starts on Feb. 26 at Bridgetown, Barbados.
