Dublin, Sep 19 (AP) The second Twenty20 cricket match between host Ireland and England was abandoned on Friday without a ball being bowled after persistent rain on the Irish coast.

It was disappointing news for a sell-out crowd of around 4,500 fans at Malahide.

England will take a 1-0 lead into Sunday’s final game, also at Malahide.

Opener Phil Salt smashed 89 runs as England won by four wickets with 14 balls remaining in the first T20 on Wednesday. (AP) AM AM AM
