International cricket has lost valuable time in bizarre circumstances in recent weeks - bright daylight but non-drying outfields.

But what happened in Lauderhill on Sunday might just be too bizarre for even cricket to come up with.

For 40 minutes at the start of the day, on a beautiful sunny morning, the full-house at the ground was denied cricket because the broadcasters suffered an 'unavoidable' and 'technical' problem.

Once the game started India bowled superbly to bowl West Indies out for 143, but two overs into the chase, a 20-minute shower was enough to make sure the contest didn't get the remaining three overs required to fetch a result on the basis of the rain rule. India was on 15 for no loss at that stage.

Earlier, Johnson Charles top-scored with 43 and Amit Mishra bagged three for 24. West Indies won the series 1-0 after it had defeated India by one run on Saturday.
