Rain again delays test
NZPA-Reuter Leeds Wet conditions delayed the start of the fifth and final cricket test between England and the. West' Indies until after lunch at Headingley early this morning (N.Z. time).
The umpires decided that no play was possible before lunch when they would inspect the ground to see if the game could start after the interval.
Rain washed out the opening day of the test yesterday without a ball bowled. The rain had stopped today but the outfield was still very damp.
