 "First ODI between England and Australia abandoned")
The first one-day international between England and Australia has been abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain at Headingley on Friday. Umpires Aleem Dar and Richard Illingworth called off the match at 1:35 p.m. local time, deciding it was too wet to play at any point in the day.
