The third T20 match between England and Pakistan at the Sophia Gardens Cricket Ground in Cardiff suffered a sudden delay before its start due to bad weather.

This series, which concludes at The Oval in London on Thursday, is serving as a warm-up for the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States, with reigning champions England starting their title defence against Scotland in Barbados on June 4.

England leads the series 1-0, following a 23-run at Edgbaston three days ago. The first match of the series was already a washout and the third match runs the risk of becoming another casualty of bad weather.

“Things you don’t want to see...,” the England Cricket posted on X (formerly called Twitter) with a video of covers being drawn over the ground.

The Three Lions are without their captain Jos Buttler, who left the camp due to personal reasons, with Moeen Ali replacing him in the squad.
