    If this game gets abandoned - I appreciate that's a slightly negative thought at this stage, but it's good to think of all scenarios - both teams will get a point.

    That will make it 7-3 to England, and with six points on the table for the three Twenty20's the multi-format series will still be alive.

    Those games are on Friday 9 June, Sunday 11 June and Wednesday 14 June.

    Well, the good news is, some of the covers have come off and it has, for the first time since I got up, stopped raining...

    I love Worcester - it's one of my favourite grounds to come to. But this weather is not the one.

    However, we've got some bad news for you.

    We've had some overnight and morning rain in Worcester so we're going to have a delayed start. The forecast does look iffy for the whole day.

    The latest news is there will be an inspection at 11:15 BST.

    Morning!

    Today is about more than just an ODI clean sweep for England though, a win would ensure they can't lose the longer multi-format series these two are playing.

    They currently lead 6-2, with eight points still available for today and the three Twenty20s that follow.

    England won the first two one-day internationals fairly comfortably.

    Can they complete a series clean sweep today?
