Wet weather prevented Nottinghamshire and Glamorgan from completing their Royal London Cup match at Welbeck Cricket Club.
The contest did begin, with Notts making 83 for 3 from 23 overs before the players were forced from the field at midday and once the heavy rain had set in, there was little option for the umpires but to call off the contest.
Jacques Rudolph had won the toss for Glamorgan and invited the home side to bat first. In the 90 minutes of play the bowlers held sway, particularly early on as the Outlaws slumped to 23 for 3.
Alex Hales, fresh from his century against Warwickshire the previous day, fell for just three runs as he and Riki Wessels, who made five, departed in the fourth over.
Ruaidhri Smith had Hales taken at mid-on by Michael Hogan and then saw Wessels pull him to Aneurin Donald on the midwicket boundary just four balls later.
James Taylor was caught behind by Mark Wallace off Hogan, also for just three, but Brendan Taylor and Samit Patel, playing the 200th List A match of his career, steadied the ship and had added 60 together for the fourth wicket when the rains came.
Taylor was unbeaten with 40 and Patel had reached 28 not out but there was no chance of either being able to resume their innings, meaning each county take one point apiece from the contest.
