Rain-stopped the play after England 59-3 in the third ODI at Edgbaston.
England scored 59-3 in 15.1 overs with top scorer by Jonathan Trott scored a unbeaten 28 off 41-balls including two-fours, Joe Root struck 12, Kevin Pietersen 6 and Eoin Morgan 5 not out.
Australia best bowler by Adam Voges and Mitchell Johnson each took one-wickets.
The rain, which is threatening to turn this series into a non-event, prevented Australia from taking advantage of a strong start at Edgbaston after they had removed England's top order.
Rain delayed the start by 20 minutes and then returned after one ball of the 16th over to force the sides off the field. Although the umpires finally called the game off shortly after 7pm it had long been clear that there was little chance of a result as Edgbaston suffered from the weather again. Spectators will receive a 50% refund on the value of their tickets - it is only 100% if fewer than 10 overs have been bowled - and Warwickshire had an insurance policy to cover lost retail sales
