West Indies' tour opener against Leicestershire petered out into a draw on the final day at Grace Road.

The visitors began the day harbouring victory hopes having reduced the Foxes to 51-1 in their second innings, still 87 behind, at stumps on day two.

Despite a 24-over spell from Sulieman Benn, the towering Barbadian left-arm spinner, Leicestershire were able to reach 238-6 before the two sides agreed on a stalemate.

Half-centuries from Matthew Boyce and Josh Cobb, who shared a second-wicket partnership of 104 spanning 41 overs, set the tone for a comfortable rescue act.

Boyce (55) was dropped twice before reaching his 50 but fell just two overs before lunch when he changed his mind about trying to pull the medium pace of Lendl Simmons (1-22) and instead scooped a catch to extra cover.

Cobb, the England Under 19 prospect, fell for 53 in the first over of the second session, tempted into driving by Benn who tossed the ball up slightly higher and got an edge behind to wicketkeeper and stand-in captain Denesh Ramdin.

Benn (2-53) claimed a further wicket four overs later in almost identical circumstances, again tempting new batsman James Taylor (5) into driving and this time he edged to slip.

At that stage Leicestershire were 134-4 - still four runs adrift - with James Allenby already ruled out of batting after sustaining a side strain on the first day.

It needed a determined 51-run stand between stand-in captain Boeta Dippenaar (40no), leading the side in the absence of the rested Paul Nixon, and all-rounder Wayne White to effectively settle the contest with overs running out.

White (18) fell driving fast bowler Lionel Baker (1-62) behind and Carl Crowe (16) had his middle stump up-rooted by Darren Sammy (1-36), but by then everyone had accepted the inevitable outcome and quickly shook hands with 14 overs of the contest remaining.

West Indies have just two more warm-up matches - against Essex at Chelmsford (Apr 25-27) and the England Lions at Derby (Apr 30-May 3) - before they assemble at Lord's for the first Test, which starts on May 6.

By then they will have Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Jerome Taylor, who are due to arrive later this week after overcoming injuries, and Indian Premier League pair Chris Gayle and Fidel Edwards.
