Spectators have been told to stay away from Durham's Riverside ground at Chester-le-Street after it was hit by Storm Dave overnight.
The start of the third day's play in the County Championship Division Two match between Durham and Kent has been delayed.
A club statement said "damage has been caused within the venue" and fans have been advised to stay away.
The statement continued: "The club have been in discussions with the match officials and venue staff this morning and following the impact on the pitch and structures within the ground it is confirmed that play will not commence on time, and a further update will be provided in due course.
"The safety of all in attendance is our number one priority in any decisions we make."
The extent of the damage at the Riverside, an international cricket venue, has not yet been disclosed.

Durham 218-0. Ton up for McKinney, keep it going fellas
Now 344-2. Mckinney still at the crease on 182
If Bedingham can get his ton tomorrow the top four will have all scored hundreds in first 2 games so hopefully they can continue that form in the future
Aye was checking the BBC while watching the footy - I was worried the weather was going to screw it up again
They went off a couple of times for rain, but got the job done.
Lots of big scores all over both divisions in the first two games.....centuries almost everywhere. It's great,highly unusual, and I wonder why so many runs? It's not like the weather has been fantastically warm to quicken up the pitches. Anyone?
Have you seen Northamptonshire's scorecard???? Oooofft!
Outstanding win for Durham… great run chase, well done lads
Should have won a couple of weeks ago also... umpires and rain
Come on Durham. Middlesex win the toss and bat.
Lords looking lovely.
Lords looking lovely.
Not a cloud in the sky. Unfortunately there must be some work going on nearby and someone has got a stihl saw blaring away.
22/0 after 8 over.
