Only 2.2 overs of play were possible at Trent Bridge before the rain came. England was put in to bat by West Indies and was 21-0 when the players went off. They didn't return.

The umpires waited 3 1/2 hours to see if there was any chance of the game resuming before calling it off.

England leads the five-match series 1-0 after a comfortable seven-wicket win in the first game.
