Miserable weather in London on Wednesday kept England and Australia kicking their heels before first day's play of the second Test was finally abandoned. With no signs of improvement in conditions, it was soon announced that there would be no possibility of any action on the opening day.
Jofra Archer was presented with his Test cap by close friend and fellow England international Chris Jordan on the outfield, but the England paceman will have to wait until Thursday to officially make his debut in the format.
The tourists won the first match of the series at Edgbaston by 251 runs.
