The weather wins at Oakham Photo CricInfo

Apart from the fixture between Glamorgan Dragons and Kent Spitfires who managed to get a truncated game played, the entire Norwich Union League programme fell foul of the weather. In the 23 over match that was played in Cardiff, the excitement made up for the lack of action elsewhere as it ended in a tie.

Elsewhere, they made a start at Oakham School where Leicestershire Foxes reached 11 without loss in three overs before the contest with Worcestershire Royals was abandoned. They got 5.2 overs in at Lord's where Sussex Sharks made 25 for one against Middlesex Crusaders before they had so much rain that the Sharks could probably have swum back to Hove.

And that was it. All the other matches were washed out without the players even taking to the field on soggy Sunday.
