frustrates Australia's victory
Rain frustrated Australia's bid to win the third test against England at Old Trafford on Sunday and keep alive their slender hopes of regaining the Ashes.
The teams left the field after tea with Australia 172 for seven after the umpires decided the light was too bad to allow play to continue even though the floodlights were on
Australia wrapped up England's first innings for 368 in the morning session to take a 159-run lead
After England resumed their first innings in the morning session on 294 for seven, Stuart Broad ensured his team avoided the follow-on by taking three boundaries off a Ryan Harris over
Australia, promoted Warner from number six to partner fellow left-hander Chris Rogers and the pair put on 23 before Rogers was caught behind for 12 by Prior tumbling to his left off Broad five minutes before lunch
Smith, who was dismissed 11 short of a century in the first innings, lofted both Bresnan and Swann for straight sixes but was then run out for 19 after a mixup with Clarke
