Day one of Leicestershire's County Championship Division Two match against Sussex at Grace Road fell foul of a wet outfield.
The abandonment came just after 16:30 BST after intermittent showers fell on a saturated outfield following heavy rain on Wednesday.
The game is the second of Australia batter Steve Smith's three-match stint at Sussex, ahead of his country's World Test Championship final against India at the Oval on 7 June and the Ashes versus England, which starts at Edgbaston on 16 June.
