2:10 AM IST, 9:40 PM Local Time: Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara stitched up a partnership to bring England Champions back on track, but the rain had the final say at Edgbaston.
Brett Lee, captain of Australia Champions' won the toss and opted to bowl first. England were off to a poor start with wickets falling in quick succession. This was followed by a strong partnership between Ravi Bopara and captain Eoin Morgan, bringing England Champions on course to put up a defendable total. Peter Siddle was the pick of the bowlers, giving away just 14 runs and a wicket in his first 3 overs. Ultimately, rain had the final say, as it was gloomy all day long at Birmingham. The game has been abandoned.
