Umpires Rob Bailey and David Millns made the decision two hours before the scheduled 6.30pm start as persistent heavy rain, which had started at 8.30am, continued to fall.

With both sides taking one point, Luke Wright’s team moved above Hampshire into second place behind group winners Kent by virtue of a better net run rate.
