Australia's ICC Champions Trophy match with New Zealand at Edgbaston has been abandoned due to rain.

The two sides, who are in Group A of the competition, have each been awarded a point.

The Aussies had made 243-8 from their 50 overs before New Zealand were put into bat.

The Kiwis managed to reach 51-2, but a heavy downpour saw the teams forced off the pitch.

A pitch inspection took place just after 6pm before it was decided by the umpires to put a stop to the contest.
