Saturated outfield forces abandonment of Somerset fixture

Sussex Sharks were frustrated by the rain for the second time in 24 hours after their Vitality Blast South Group match against Somerset at The 1st Central County Ground was abandoned more than two hours before the scheduled start.

Heavy rain in the last 24 hours had left the outfield at Hoves saturated and umpires Ian Blackwell and Hassan Adnan made an early decision to call the game off. Both sides take one point. Sussex remain unbeaten after five matches following Thursday's washout against Surrey at the Kia Oval.

Somerset are fifth in the table with one victory from their first four matches. They play Glamorgan at Taunton on Saturday in their next match while Sussex host Glamorgan on Tuesday.
