No.1 Test ranking slips further from India's reach after another frustrating day without play in Port of Spain
Play was abandoned without a ball being bowled for a third consecutive day on the scheduled fourth day of the fourth and final Test between the West Indies and India at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad on Sunday.
Umpires Nigel Llong and Rod Tucker determined that the repair work being undertaken on a saturated outfield eliminated any chance of play despite almost continuous sunshine over the previous two days.

Ashwin ripper boosts India's hopes
Only 22 overs have been bowled so far in the match with the West Indies reaching 2-62 before lunch on the first day, before the weather and developing problems with the saturated ground ruined the fixture completely.
India lead the series 2-0, but must win the fourth Test if they are to avoid relinquishing their world number one status to arch rivals Pakistan.
With just one day to play, a draw is almost a certainty.
