England's third and final Twenty20 against Australia in the Women's Ashes was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain in Adelaide.

Australia now lead the multi-format series 4-2 as each side take one point.

The hosts won the first T20 by nine wickets, before the second T20 was also abandoned because of rain.

The two sides next face each other in a one-off Test from 27-30 January in Canberra, with four points on offer for the winner. Victory for Australia would mean they retain the Ashes.

"It's really frustrating but we're just going to have to prepare as best we can for the Test," England captain Heather Knight told BBC Test Match Special.

"We've had some really good preparation in the last couple of years in Test cricket, but it's a pretty quick turnaround, so it's going to be quite tricky."

We're going to spend some of the time before the play starts at 20:00 GMT running through some of the stories from the world of cricket today.

First up is an update on how England women are getting on in their Ashes series against Australia...

Tonight is Reece Topley's first T20 for England since March 2016 when he played against South Africa in Mumbai.

He has played three ODIs in the last couple of years.

The left-armer has been playing in Australia's Big Bash League so he's coming in with some match practice.

West Indies: Shai Hope, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard (capt), Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Akeal Hosein, Sheldon Cottrell.

England: Jason Roy, Tom Banton, James Vince, Moeen Ali, Eoin Morgan, Sam Billings, Liam Dawson, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Reece Topley.

Umpires: Joel Wilson and Nigel Duguid. Third umpire: Gregory Brathwaite.

West Indies captain Kieron Pollard: "We're going on to a new pitch, so we don't know what it has to offer.

"It's the same team. We're giving the guys who did well yesterday another opportunity. They are looking forward to the challenge.

"The conversation is that 'success is boring'. You have to do the same things over and over."

England captain Eoin Morgan: "It's a challenge similar to yesterday, to adapt to the conditions.

"Liam Livingstone is still unavailable. We'll continue to change the team throughout the series, especially with the games coming so quickly."

West Indies are playing the same team that won by nine wickets on Saturday night.

We're playing on a different pitch tonight so who knows how this one may play!

Eoin Morgan loses the toss again and England will have to set a target again.

There is one change for the tourists with Reece Topley replacing Tymal Mills.

Evening!

Well, last night was a bit of a disaster, wasn't it?

Let's hope tonight's game goes better for England, or at the very least is a bit more exciting!

Time for the toss...

Saturday brought more disappointment for England.

Can they level up this five-match series in tonight's second game?

Let's find out.
