Match abandoned without a ball bowled; England lead series 1-0

Scorecard

The second T20 between Ireland and England was abandoned in Dublin without a ball being bowled because of rain.

After Phil Salt led England to victory in the first match on Wednesday, weather ensured there would be no play on Friday.

The sold-out game at Malahide was due to start at 13:30 BST, but persistent rain in the prior 36 hours led to an inspection at 12:00 with umpires confirming the abandonment at 15:48.

The third and final game in the series is on Sunday.

England's white-ball side are then in action in three one-day internationals and three T20s in New Zealand next month.

Following the finale of their summer this weekend, Ireland will tour Bangladesh in November.
