England's World Cup tune-up against Costa Rica delayed due to weather

June 10 : England's World Cup warm-up match against Costa Rica in Orlando on Wednesday has been delayed after a heavy downpour. 

The game, England's final friendly before the World Cup, was set to kick off at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando at 4 p.m. ET (2000 GMT). 

Inter&Co Stadium's X account reported that it was now safe for ticketholders to return to their seats after big screens in the stadium had earlier instructed them to "take shelter" due to lightning strikes.

Heavy rain has left the pitch soaked. England's official X account said it would provide further updates as soon as they were available.

Orlando is not hosting any games during the World Cup, which kicks off on Thursday.
