Nottingham ODI abandoned

Published September 22, 2017

NOTTINGHAM: Play in the second ODI between England and West Indies here at Trent Bridge on Thursday was abandoned as a no-result washout.

Only 11 minutes play was possible at the Nottingham ground before rain saw the umpires take the players off the field with England 21 without loss after 2.2 overs, having been sent into bat.

Jonny Bairstow was nine not out and Alex Hales 10 not out.

The rain did not relent and several hours later, shortly before 4:15pm local time (1515 GMT) the match was abandoned.

Earlier on Thursday, West Indies star batsman Chris Gayle was set to spend part of his 38th birthday in a Nottingham hospital after a hamstring injury ruled him out of the second ODI against England.

The left-handed opener suffered the injury while warming up and was ruled out shortly before the toss, with Kyle Hope taking his place.

A team spokesman later confirmed that Gayle had injured his right hamstring and would be having a hospital scan to assess the extent of the damage.
