The women's game between Birmingham Phoenix and Trent Rockets was washed out without a ball being bowled. Here's hoping that the men's game will turn out better.

4:56pm: Not too soon after that, the game has been abandoned. This is the third washout of the day which is a shame. The game was shaping up well with Buttler smacking 62, Holden and Turner chipping in with bat before Bopara broke momentum. But with the wet outfield, coming back on was a tall ask. In the end, it was too much.

James: "Any update?" Nope. At 4:53pm local, only one thing is certain - time is running out quickly.

The worry with this stoppage, the second of the match so far, is that balls are likely to reduce. So there is the possibility of the break signalling the end of the innings. Let's hope things change and action resumes quickly.

Ravi Bopara says it's very wet. The wicket's okay but the outfield being wet is making the ball slip. He thinks it's a good score. Says it's a good pitch and they've played well. (On the knuckle ball to Buttler) Says it took two years to practice. That the ball isn't held properly but he gained confidence from bowlers and baseball pitchers doing it. Says he didn't even factor in Buttler's form and how well he was hitting when he got him out. He focused on bowling in the right areas. Says clouds are building up on the back, and that he's not sure how much the outfield will take.

4:24pm: There are discussions between Lawrence and the umpire. The bowler, Thompson, and fielders walk around too. They're told to keep going. A few seconds later, however, they will walk off. Hover cover back on.

Ellis to Turner, no run, Done for pace. It's into the pitch and just down leg stump. Turner made room on the last second but was hurried, and hence, cramped for room. Tried to drive through the line off the back foot. Misses

Ellis to Turner, 2 runs, Wade slides across and stops the ball. Puts his hands up to show he's unhappy about the grass being wet. The ball was dug in outside off and was slapped to the left of deep point

Ellis to Turner, 2 runs, Turner plants the ball into the wet grass after making room by flicking the back-of-length ball. It goes towards short fine leg, fielders converge. Man behind the stumps whips off the bails with his hands, ball had popped out. So they're safe

There's some drizzle and the ball's getting slippery. They'll stay out for now

Ellis to Overton, 1 run, Length on middle, worked to deep midwicket. They want two but Mitchell is in quickly

Ellis to Overton, no run, Short ball over off at 83kph zips through. It's skiddy and beats Overton's attempted flapping blade, aiming to take the ball over midwicket

Ball change. Mel Jones has a cheeky dig about the ball change at the Oval in the Ashes. There are new developments from there. Check it out
