Windies and England were left frustrated as persistent rain washed out the third one-day international in Grenada.

Drizzle stopped temporarily allowing a delayed toss to be completed - England winning the coin flip and electing to bowl first.

However, the players and spectators endured an exasperating day as the covers were pulled on and off over the course of five hours as stop-start rain thwarted any possibility of play.

Ben Stokes missed out for England after rolling his ankle in training and was replaced by Alex Hales, while Chris Woakes - rested for the second ODI in Barbados as he nurses a knee issue - regained his spot from Tom Curran.

Windies - who named an unchanged XI and handed a 100th ODI cap to Darren Bravo - drew level in the series on Friday with a 26-run win at Kensington Oval, a game in which Sheldon Cottrell took five wickets and Shimron Hetmyer scored an unbeaten century.

England, on a run of nine bilateral ODI series victories on the bounce, won the opener, also in Barbados, by seven wickets last Wednesday thanks to centuries from Jason Roy and Joe Root.
