The points are shared; Australia lead 3-1
So that’s that then. Unfortunately the weather has put paid to the second game of this Ashes series and the teams will share the spoils - 1 point each.
It would of course BE GOOD FOR THE SERIES if England can chalk up a victory in the final T20I tomorrow so that both sides head into the Test match level pegging on 3 points apiece. Otherwise it will be 5-1 Australia and all a bit gloomier than the current skies over Adelaide. Not that Meg Lanning and co will care a jot.
It was brief but enjoyable, thanks for you emails and tweets. I for one am all caffeine-d up with nowhere to go. As the ‘old folks’ and B*Witched both said - C’est la vie.
We’ll be back tomorrow, fingers crossed for clearer skies.
In the meantime, here’s a match report of sorts:

I was thinking this:
It does surprise me that there is no extra time built in for these #Ashes iT20s, but the way the rain was coming down in Adelaide, even that might not have helped.

Maybe the forecast was so bad that an early call was best, it’d be nice to think there was a bit of leeway factored in though.
