5.30pm The match has been called off. The series is shared. A frustrating afternoon with the weather the winner. My colleagues will be around in a little while to keep tabs on conditions ahead of the final men's T20I, but the forecast isn't promising. This tour now switches into one-day mode with the first match on Sunday. For now, from Andrew McGlashan, it's goodbye and thanks for your company.
5.10pm Mehul Trivedi: "@Andrew - any news regarding restart? Sitting in Papakura about 35 kms from ground and it's raining here...let's hope for the best." Nothing yet, I'm afraid.
Craigy: "Looking at the rain radar... they might even be lucky to get tonight's game in, let alone this one."
Paul: "NZC trying to play into April is stupid and they have only themselves to blame. They bend over and take whatever the ICC and Cricket Australia throw at them." Look at the forecast after today...this is bad luck more than anything.
4.50pm I get a feeling it's going to be touch-and-go for this game now which is a real shame. Given the game started suspect the cut-off will be pushed back a bit but doubt they'll be much wriggle room.
Dave Fern: "At Eden Park hoping - looking pretty grey all around the stadium."
4.45pm Another chat from the umpires and rain has stopped play. It's been steady for a while and it's just too much now
