Malahide, Ireland: Rain meant only 18 overs were possible as the lone one-day international between Ireland and England at Malahide ended in a washed-out no result on Friday. The rain, which interrupted play after 79 minutes, did not relent and the umpires called the match off shortly after 3:00pm local time (1400 GMT).

England's debutant captain James Taylor won the toss and had no hesitation in asking their hosts to bat first in overcast conditions. Taylor's team, without members of the side that featured in the recent third Test defeat by the West Indies in Barbados, featured five players making their first appearance in a one-day international.
