RAIN DELAYS START OF ENGLAND MATCH

England's match to gain a place in the final of the World Cup qualifier in Changzhou has been delayed by torrential rain, which has flooded the pitch. The lastest news is that rain continues to fall and no start time has yet been given.

France, who are fighting for the remaining qualifying place to go to the World Cup in Monchengladbach in September, will now face Japan. Earlier today, France defeated Belgium after penalty strokes and Japan beat Ireland 2-1.
