The beginning of the third One-Day Worldwide between England and the West Indies on the Oval was on Tuesday delayed after the visiting staff’s bus received caught in heavy site visitors.
The England and Wales Cricket Board issued an announcement forward of the toss, saying, “Attributable to a delayed arrival of one of many taking part in groups, who’re caught in heavy site visitors north of the river, the scheduled begin of play will probably be delayed.
“As soon as all members of the taking part in groups arrive, the match officers will coordinate up to date timings and talk about any influence on the schedule of play. We are going to replace spectators with the schedule of play as quickly as we’re capable of.”

The up to date timings had been later communicated. The toss, initially scheduled to occur at 12:30pm native time (5pm IST), will now happen at 1:10pm native time (5:40pm IST). The sport is ready to start out at 1:30pm native time (6pm IST) if rain doesn’t intervene.
West Indies couldn’t have a success within the nets. The staff later posted on X: “Attributable to heavy site visitors delays, our staff arrived moments earlier than the beforehand scheduled toss time.”
England has already clinched the three-match collection after wins in Birmingham and Cardiff final week.
