Bottles being hurled onto the ground here. A few idiots in the
venue ruining things for everyone here at the Keenan stadium in
Jamshedpur. A poor advertisement for this venue
Play has been stopped while ball-boys help clear the grouns. Some
people are lighting fires with banners and pieces of paper as well
Shameful this, Mike Procter the match referee watches on with a
worried look on his face
The fires now are raging in many parts of the ground. All the
papers on hand being added to the small fires. The players are now
walking off the ground...
Sad, sad scenes here at the Keenan stadium as Sarwan sprints off,
followed by the rest of the p[layers
Will the game be abandoned here? Will they come back to finish
this? The light isn't great here either...
The news is coming through now, this game has been abandoned. Now
that means that the West Indies have won this game by the
Duckworth-Lewis method
Please stay with us, we will bring you more details in the minutes
to follow
At the stage when the game was called off, West Indies were 271/4
needing a further 13 runs from three overs
Ironically there's a banner that reads "We are Indian but love West
Indies" in the crowd. Sportsmanship among the unruly mobs here at
Jamshedpur...
And more amazing scenes here as the players come back onto the
field!
This after it was announced that West Indies had won this game
Even huge advertising hoardings are being burnt here

Once again, CricInfo would like to apologise for any confusion
caused by the earlier announcement that the game was going to be
abandoned when crowd trouble stopped play. A communication snag
caused this and we do hope it did not take away from a game
we thoroughly enjoyed bringing to you
