No play was possible on day five of England v India as the rain ruined the prospect of a thrilling conclusion to the first LV= Insurance Test Match.

Rain varied in intensity throughout the day, but never fully relented for long enough to permit a pitch inspection, with play ultimately being called off mid-afternoon.

The summer’s flagship Test series remains tied at 0-0 with four further fixtures to come.

All day five ticketholders will receive a full, automatic refund on the value of their match tickets within four weeks, with no action required.
