KLERKDORP, South Africa (CMC):

West Indies failed to hold off Cape Cobras' rampant late surge and lost by three wickets with two balls to spare in their unofficial ICC Champions Trophy warm-up fixture on Saturday. Batting first, West Indies posted 327 for seven off their 50 overs and the Cobras responded with 329 for seven off 49.4 overs at the Markotter Stadium in North West Province.

For the West Indies, the experienced left-hander Devon Smith cracked a stroke-filled 80 off 118 balls with nine boundaries. The Nevisian, 19-year-old left-handed opener Kieran Powell, and wicketkeeper/batsman Chadwick Walton also stroked half-centuries. Powell hit a solid 62 off 53 balls with eight fours and two sixes while Walton, batting at No.6, smashed the ball with power to make 69 not out from 62 balls with seven crisp boundaries. There were also good knocks from opener Dale Richards, 33 off 31 balls, and Darren Sammy, who crashed a fiery 31 from just 14 balls. Sammy, who led the side while captain Floyd Reifer rested, struck four boundaries and a six.

End-of-match review

NEW YORK (AP):

The US Open is reviewing Serena Williams' tirade at a line judge at the end of her semi-final loss to Kim Clijsters.

Tournament spokesman Chris Widmaier said Sunday that officials were watching tapes of what happened Saturday night. The tournament referee, Brian Earley, interviewed Williams and the match's chair umpire before they left the grounds Saturday.

With Williams serving, two points from defeat, a line judge called a foot fault on a second serve. That gave Clijsters a match point. Williams screamed, cursed and shook a ball in the official's direction. Williams was docked a point for unsportsmanlike conduct, ending the match.
