With persistent rain falling in Bristol, the match - due to start at 10:30 BST - was called off shortly before 14:00. Sri Lanka's game against Pakistan at Bristol on 7 June was also washed out. Only 7.3 overs were possible in the match between West Indies and South Africa at Southampton on Monday. The previous highest number of abandoned games in a World Cup was two, in 1992 and 2003.

June 18, 20196 yr England captain Eoin Morgan has hit 17 sixes in his innings of 148 off just 71 balls against Afghanistan. It's a world record for the most sixes hit by one batsman in a one day international. After a relatively slow start,England scored 397 for 6. They also broke the record for most sixes by a team in an ODI (25). It's good that the weather seems to be improving now. It's looking like England,Australia,India and New Zealand will be the semi-finalists. One of the other six teams needs to put a run of wins together to catch up,Bangladesh seem to be the most likely to do that. Pakistan,West Indies and South Africa have all under performed.
