NEW DELHI: Rain once again played a significant role in the fourth Test match between England and Australia at Old Trafford, frustrating England's hopes of forcing a series-levelling win. Only 30 overs were bowled during the fourth day when the wet weather returned during the revised tea break, leading to the day's play being abandoned at 1727 GMT.
At the end of the day's play, Australia stood at 214/5 in their second innings, still trailing England by 61 runs. England had posted a commanding first-innings total of 592.
