Rain washes out day two for England

Tour match, Hobart (day two of four):

Wet weather prevented any play on day two of England's Ashes warm-up game with Australia A in Hobart.

Heavy rain delayed the scheduled 23:00 GMT start, but after several inspections, play was finally abandoned for the day at 05:20 GMT as the bowler's run-up area at the southern end was judged to be too wet for play.

Day three's play will now start half-an-hour earlier, at 22:30 GMT.

England are 318-0 with Alastair Cook on 154 and Michael Carberry on 153.

The two left-handers batted through day one after captain Cook won the toss.
