England and Australia's T20 series ended in a draw after the third match at Old Trafford was washed out.

Heavy rain throughout the day in Manchester prevented any play and the series ends 1-1.

Australia won the first T20 comfortably in Southampton, with Travis Head hitting a rapid half-century.

Liam Livingstone's superb knock of 87 then took England to victory in the second match in Cardiff.

But the weather ensured there would be no chance of a decider with the umpires officially abandoning the match at 16:15 BST.

The teams will now head to Nottingham for the start of the five-match one-day international series, which begins on Thursday, 19 September.

England will again be without Jos Buttler for the ODIs. The white-ball skipper is still recovering from a right calf injury that ruled him out of the T20s and The Hundred.
