Both Norfolk and Lincolnshire are yet to start their 2024 seasons, and both were left frustrated by overnight rain and early morning drizzle as players and officials waited for a break in conditions at Great Witchingham CC in Norfolk.

Ultimately the elements had the final say and both games were called off before a ball could be bowled.
