India wrapped up its series against the West Indies 1-0 Sunday when the third and final Test ended in a draw in Dominica after a fine rearguard action from Shivnarine Chanderpaul. India, which won the opening Test in Jamaica then drew the last two, was 94-3 in its second innings, having been set 180 to win, when the players shook hands and agreed to an early finish after tea on the fifth day. Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma was named Man of the Series after capturing 22 wickets and taking his career tally past 100. West Indies effectively saved the match after making 332 in its second innings, Chanderpaul finishing with an unbeaten 116 after putting on a crucial 37 over, 65-run partnership with Fidel Edwards (30) for the ninth wicket. Chanderpaul celebrated becoming the most capped West Indian in Tests with his 23rd ton in a 133 Tests and it was a typically gritty innings from the Guyanese left-hander. He lost Darren Sammy early, the West Indies captain caught at short-leg off Harbhajan Singh although television replays suggested the ball had struck only his pad. Then Ravi Rampaul was run out and Edwards came in for his best score in Test cricket. Chanderpaul, who struck just five fours from 343 deliveries and was named Man of the Match, was clearly annoyed when Edwards finally lost his patience and holed out to Praveen Kumar at deep mid-off of the bowling Raina. Raina's part-time spin quickly took care of Devendra Bishoo as India finally finished off the West Indies tail. There was time enough for India to reach the target of 180 with around 47 overs expected to be available but its attempt got off to a poor start. Edwards took the new ball and struck with the first delivery – trapping Abhinav Mukund leg before wicket. Murali Vijay made a smart 45 before Rampaul had him caught by Bishoo and Raina was promoted to perhaps push along the run-rate but went for eight, caught and bowled by Rampaul, before the game ended, prematurely, when it was clear India was no longer chasing the target. ODI abandoned Sri Lanka's One-Day International against Ireland in Edinburgh has been abandoned without a ball being bowled because of persistent rain. The match was to be the first of a tri-nation tournament also involving Scotland.
