Ireland’s second T20 international against England in Malahide has been called off without a ball being bowled due to wet weather.
Overnight rain ensured a wet outfield early on Friday morning, but with the downpour relenting there was early hope that a 1.30 start time would be met.
However, the inclement weather returned just shy of 1pm, ensuring a delayed start. A 1.30pm pitch inspection was called with some hope remaining of a delayed start, only for the conditions to remain poor.
Just shy of 3.50pm, the game was abandoned with no hope of play on the horizon.
