West Indies duo Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul batted through a rain-hit morning session to frustrate England on the final day of the third Test on Thursday.
Sarwan was 73 not out and Chanderpaul unbeaten on 40 as the home team, chasing an unlikely victory target of 503, reached lunch on 196 for three at the Antigua Recreation Ground.
Heavy rain caused a 75-minute delay to the start and when play got underway Chanderpaul and Sarwan survived some lively bowling from pacemen Steve Harmison and James Anderson.
As the pitch settled down the pair grew in confidence, bringing up their 100 partnership in the last over before the break.
West Indies lead the five-match series 1-0.
