IRELAND’S SECOND T20 clash with England has been abandoned due to heavy rain at Malahide.
The match was scheduled to start at 1.30pm in front of a sell-out 4,500 crowd, but the bad weather conditions forced umpires to hold a pitch inspection at 12pm.
With no sign of the rain relenting after the delayed start, the game was called off later in the afternoon without a ball being bowled.
The final game of the three-match series is scheduled for Sunday.
