Over 11. 1 run. Bowler: Ben Hilfenhaus. Ireland: 36/3(rr 3.27)

Hilfenhaus to Wilson. Length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, to silly mid on for no runs, fielded by Smith. The rain, as anticipated has arrived to Belfast and it must be said the forecast for the remainder of the day looks rather bleak. The game has been abandoned and it doesn't comes as any surprise when taking into consideration the sheer volume of rainfall that has passed over the pitch and outfield. Australia had started well with Brett Lee in particular looking very dangerous with the ball. Ireland will be disappointed given it was a good opportunity to showcase their skills to a wide audience however it wasn't to be.
