Play in the second one-day international between England and West Indies at Trent Bridge on Thursday was abandoned as a no-result washout.
Only 11 minutes play was possible at the Nottingham ground before rain saw the umpires take the players off the field with England 21 without loss after 2.2 overs, having been sent into bat.
Jonny Bairstow was nine not out and Alex Hales 10 not out.
The rain did not relent and several hours later, shortly before 4:15pm local time (1515 GMT) the match was abandoned.
England remain 1-0 up in a five-match series that continues in Bristol on Sunday.
Gayle pulls hamstring
Meanwhile, West Indies star batsman Chris Gayle was set to spend part of his 38th birthday in a Nottingham hospital after suffering a hamstring injury just before the toss.
The big-hitting Jamaica left-handed opener injured himself while warming up.
A team spokesman later confirmed that Gayle had injured his right hamstring and would be having a hospital scan to assess the extent of the damage.
“Chris Gayle came to me before the toss and said he was feeling something in his hamstring,” West Indies captain Jason Holder told BBC Radio’s Test Match Special after he sent England into bat.
“Hopefully it’s not something too serious and it’s a precaution.
“He came to me as I was walking up to the coin so I don’t know the extent of the injury,” the all-rounder added.
