Start of third one-day international between England and Australia delayed A delayed start was confirmed for today's third NatWest Series match between England and Australia at soggy Edgbaston. As the mopping up process got under way following overnight and morning rain, a 2pm inspection was announced for the day-night fixture. Forecast for improved weather this afternoon, albeit with more rain still likely at some point, raised hopes that England might get the chance after all to try to wrap up the five-match series here. They lead 2-0 with three to play. Umpires Aleem Dar and Rob Bailey were forced to curtail their 2pm inspection by the return of the rain which led to the square again being covered. It was decided that the umpires would carry out a further inspection at 3pm if the rain ceased.
