Cricket: New Zealand opener Brendon McCullum's unbeaten half-century proved in vain as heavy rain forced the abandonment of their clash with England at Edgbaston.
The Black Caps were left facing a revised target of 160 in 23 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis system.
But after reaching 127 for two off 19 overs, the umpires conferred and the players left the field just one over short of the minimum number required to obtain a result.
New Zealand would have needed to score 134 by the end of the 20th over, providing they did not lose any further wickets, to level the series.
It was tough luck on McCullum, who had reached his 50 off 42 balls with five fours.
