Barley 40 minutes of rain enough to end in abandonmentHosts Gloucestershire left red-faced after soggy finish
The international summer came to a farcical end in Bristol as England’s final outing against Ireland was washed out by barely 40 minutes of afternoon rain.
Ben Duckett had just registered his maiden ODI century – a blistering 107 not out from 78 balls, including a 70-ball hundred – in what was a rapid-fire start for England. The hosts were tracking for a possible world record total with 280 for four from 31 overs.
