- Play was suspended after 10.1 overs (56 minutes) after
the batsmen had been struck several times by balls which
lifted dangerously off a length. Lengthy discussions ensured
and after another 10 minutes the players left the field.
An hour-and-a-half later the match was abandoned.
- An additional Test was scheduled for 5-9 February at Port-of-Spain
- David Richards, the ICC chief executive, said: "It is possible for
ICC to rule that the match should be scrubbed out, but I think
it is unlikely." Eventually it was ruled that the Test was valid
and all performances counted towards career records
