ENGLAND LOSE TWO WICKETS FOR 53 Walcott Reaches 220

Bridgetown, Feb. 8.

England, chasing the West Indies first innings total of 383, lost two wickets for 53 runs before rain ended the second day's play in the second Test here today. Once again it was the little West Indies spinner, Sonny Ramadhin, who struck the blows. With the total at 35, he had Willie Watson stumped, and ten runs Inter had Peter May caught. Both wickets fell in 25 deliveries. Ramadhin's two wickets cost only eight runs.
