The third Twenty20 international between England and Australia at Old Trafford was abandoned due to persistent rain, leaving the series tied at 1-1. Scheduled to start at 2:30 pm local time, the match faced continuous delays and was ultimately called off at 4:20 pm after multiple inspections deemed the conditions unsuitable. This decision followed England's victory in Cardiff and Australia's win in Southampton earlier in the series. England will now shift focus to a five-match One-Day International series starting Thursday at Trent Bridge, where they will be led by Harry Brook in place of the injured Jos Buttler. Both teams are expected to feature key players who previously rested during the T20 matches. The weather forecast for the ODIs appears more favorable, raising hopes for uninterrupted play.
