Rain has stopped play in the third one-day international between Australia and England at Edgbaston.
England were struggling at 3-59 when wet weather forced the players off the field 15.1 overs into the opening innings.
Australia, 1-0 up in the five-match series, had the hosts under pressure after Michael Clarke won the toss and chose to bowl.
England’s innings was off to a horror start when opener Michael Carberry was run out for one due to a calamitous mix-up with Kevin Pietersen.
Both openers were gone when Pietersen (six) scooped a poor shot to George Bailey off Mitchell Johnson’s bowling.
Johnson had Jonathan Trott (28 not out) in all sorts early and was unlucky not to dismiss him lbw on two occasions, with the batsman successfully reviewing one decision and surviving an Australian challenge.
The introduction of Adam Voges into the attack worked a treat and he had Joe Root (12) caught and bowled in his first over.
Light rain delayed the start of the day-night match by 20 minutes until 2.20pm local time (11.20pm AEST).
More rain is forecast on Wednesday evening.
Australia lead the series after an 88-run win in Manchester on Sunday.
The first game in Leeds was washed out without a ball being bowled.
