Last updated : 11 June 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Rain prevented Coventry born Ian Bell from becoming the first Warwickshire player to make a century for England at Edgbaston.

Bell was on 76 not out when play ended yesterday with England on 221-5 in reply to the West Indies 426 including 95 from Tino Best which was the highest international score ever from a number eleven batsman.

Today, heavy rain ruled out play for the third out of five days and shortly after 3pm, the match was declared a draw.
