England's World Cup qualifying match against Poland has been delayed because of a waterlogged pitch.
Storms engulfed Warsaw in the hours before the game, with large puddles gathering on the playing surface of Poland's £400m national stadium.
Despite rain being forecast, officials in Warsaw decided that the stadium's retractable roof would not be needed.
The referee inspected the pitch at 2000 BST before delaying it further. The tie could now be rearranged for Wednesday.
