Scorer: Chandan Duorah | Commentator: Andrew McGlashan

9.55pm And that's it, we are done. Match abandoned. The weather always looked like being the winner. It means Australia retain the Chappell-Hadlee trophy. New Zealand can still level the series tomorrow, although the forecast isn't much better. Two key takeaways from today: Ish Sodhi's caps record and a little dent to Travis Head's average.

Mitchell Marsh: "Days like today are always difficult...we do our best to get a game for the crowd. Hopefully tomorrow is a good day. I was 1 off 5 in a nine-over game, never felt more pressure in my career. Nice to walk off, was about to retire myself."

Michael Bracewell: "We wanted to play a game but unfortunately the weather didn't play ball. Spoke before the game about trying to nail the powerplay...think it showed the way we want to be playing. Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. We just want to keep building, we made a few adjustments from [game] one to two. We hold a lot of pride in the jersey."

Well, there's not much more to say about this one. Thanks for staying with us. You can follow the India-West Indies Test here and England-South Africa in the Women's ODI World Cup is about to get going. We'll be back tomorrow for the final match of the series. Until then, from Gnasher and Alex, it's goodbye.

9.49pm Hello folks. It's wet. It's been one of the great Friday evenings so far!

9.42pm It's raining solidly. The players are heading off. The covers are coming on. That might be it. The full covers are being pulled onto the square.

News is we have about 30 minutes to get started again otherwise this is done. It's raining solidly. Fans who braved the conditions are starting to head to the exits. Gnasher will step into commentary.

Duffy to Head, OUT, picks out backward point! Good catch by Conway coming forward. Good length, on off, he was cramped and just sliced it to backward point. Conway dives forward to pouch it
