England’s World Cup warm-up against India was abandoned without a ball bowled because of rain in Guwahati.

The toss had taken place, with India skipper Rohit Sharma opting to bat first, before the rain arrived.

England named 13 players, with bowlers Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson missing out from their 15-man squad. Their second and final warm-up is against Bangladesh on Monday, before they start their title defence against New Zealand on Thursday.

Monday’s game will be the last chance England have to give fast bowler Mark Wood and leg-spinner Adil Rashid some match action, with the pair having not played because of injuries.
