Scorecard

The series-deciding third T20 between England and South Africa was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain.

After the Proteas won a rain-shortened series opener, Harry Brook's side had levelled it up with their record-breaking victory at Old Trafford, but the weather has ensured the series has finished all square.

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.

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.

The white-ball side will follow that with three one-day internationals and three T20s in New Zealand in October.
