Surrey’s hopes of a fourth straight Vitality Blast victory were dashed by bad weather as their London derby against Middlesex at the Kia Oval was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
The home side had been looking to stretch their lead at the top of the South Group after ending their first block of Blast fixtures with three successive wins.
But rain began to fall around an hour before the scheduled start and continued until the match was called off at 7.45pm, with both teams taking a point apiece.
Middlesex, who remain bottom of the table, resume their campaign against Hampshire at Radlett on Saturday, with Surrey due to host Kent Spitfires at the Kia Oval the following day.
