Taunton fixture ruined by heavy rain

Somerset's Friends Life t20 game against Hampshire Royals at Taunton was called off an hour before the scheduled start on Sunday after torrential morning rain left the outfield saturated. The umpires inspected at 1.30pm, shortly after the Hampshire team had arrived, and decided no play would be possible. It was the second t20 game at Taunton to be abandoned without a ball being bowled in the space of three days after Friday night's match between Somerset and Kent suffered the same fate.
