All matches at the Champions Trophy hockey tournament have been postponed because of heavy rain at North Harbour Hockey Stadium today.

Organisers initially delayed the opening match of the day between Great Britain and Australia in the hope the rain that started falling in Auckland this morning might abate but have since decided to postpone all matches until tomorrow.

New Zealand were due to face Korea in a must-win match this afternoon after their 2-1 defeat to Germany in their opening match yesterday.
