Durham and Leicestershire remain in Vitality Blast quarter-final limbo after their North Group clash at the Banks Homes Riverside was abandoned without a ball bowled.
Third-placed Durham - 30 points after 13 games - are likely to qualify for the last eight.
Fifth-placed Leicestershire, meanwhile - 26 from 13 - face an uphill battle to finish in the top four places. They must win their final-round clash with Yorkshire at Uptonsteel County Ground on Friday evening and hope Derbyshire Falcons beat Bears at The County Ground.
This was a double header Blast day at the Riverside, and both matches finished in No Results, starting with Durham’s women versus Surrey this afternoon.
As was the case with the women’s game, the men’s squads both warmed up before the rain hit with the toss approaching.
Umpires Michael Gough and David Millns called things off at 8.05pm, heralding the North Group’s first No Result of 2025.
