"You don't want to come all the way over to this part of the world and only play one game, Harry Brook said. Very frustrating."
"I guess this time of year rain is always a potential, said Mitchell Santner, the New Zealand captain. It's always nice to play England no matter what time of year you play. The issue being that they spent most of the time they were supposed to be playing England not playing England."
Persistent rain forced the T20 in Auckland to be abandoned after only 25 balls. Rain first intervened at 7.17pm, two minutes after play began; a brief resumption preceded further showers that allowed a planned 10pm restart before rain returned at 9.59pm. England won the toss and chose to bowl. New Zealand were 38 for one after 3.4 overs, with Tim Seifert hitting early boundaries and later sixes alongside Rachin Ravindra. Zak Crawley remained in New Zealand while Phil Salt and Jordan Cox returned home. This was the first international attempted in Auckland in October, underscoring seasonal rain risk.
