The series-deciding third T20 between England and South Africa was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain.<\/p>\n
After the Proteas won a rain-shortened series opener<\/a> last week, Harry Brook’s side levelled it up with their record-breaking victory at Old Trafford<\/a>, but the weather has ensured the series has finished all square.<\/p>\n The game at Trent Bridge was due to start at 14:30 BST on Sunday, but rain arrived before the toss and continued to fall until the umpires made the decision to call off the game at about 16:20.<\/p>\n The washout brings England’s home summer to a close, but an understrength squad, led by Jacob Bethell, will begin a three-match T20 series in Ireland on Wednesday.<\/p>\n The white-ball side will follow that with three one-day internationals and three T20s in New Zealand in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The series-deciding third T20 between England and South Africa was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137011,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-137010","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
