England and the West Indies endured a frustrating morning as rain meant there was no play before lunch on Friday's second day of the second Test here at the Riverside. A small smattering of spectators were in the ground which on Thursday had witnessed the smallest first-day Test crowd of modern times in England.

 

But with light rain still falling and the pitch and square fully covered, their prospects seeing play resume soon after the lunch break were slim. England, having won the toss, were 302 for two overnight. Left-handed opener Alastair Cook was 126 not out, having batted for the entire first day's play. Nightwatchman James Anderson was unbeaten on four.
