Third ODI delayed after West Indies team get stuck in traffic
LONDON :The West Indies team arrived late due to heavy road traffic for the final match of their one-day international series against England at The Oval on Tuesday, forcing a delay to the scheduled start time.
England's players, who had hired Lime Bikes to finish their journey to the ground, were warming up on the outfield when the delay was announced.
"Due to a delayed arrival of one of the playing teams, who are stuck in heavy traffic north of the river, the scheduled start of play will be delayed," an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) statement said.
"Once all members of the playing teams arrive, the match officials will coordinate updated timings and discuss any impact on the schedule of play."

With her win, Le Court expressed: 'I am very happy, not just with this victory, but also with being back here… We came into this stage with a plan and executed it perfectly. I attacked, had Kristen come with me, and we managed to hold off the chasers, both of us being strong engines.' The athlete added: 'It was pretty close at the finish, but I am delighted I could pull it off. I now look forward to the next stages, where we want to fight for some more good results.'

Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) attacked with 37 km to go and was later joined by Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly) and Anna Henderson (Lidl-Trek). Le Court went on the climb alone, winning the Queen of the Mountains points. Faulkner then rejoined her on the descent, and the pair gained about 30 seconds on the chasing group. The peloton couldn't close the gap despite the efforts from FDJ-Suez and Movistar. Faulkner almost crashed into a traffic island with 15 km to go, but Le Court waited for her break partner, knowing she needed the help. The breakaway duo worked together to reach the finish line. Le Court launched the sprint first and held off Faulkner for the win. Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) placed third from the peloton.

After making a 3-0 winning start to Harry Brook's captaincy in the one-dayers, England kept the momentum in the shorter format with an innings of 188-6 after winning the toss and batting first. West Indies finished on 167-9, with Romario Shepherd caught on the final ball of the match. Buttler, in at number three with England 16-1 after Ben Duckett was caught by West Indies captain Shai Hope off Shepherd, brought up his half century from 25 balls in the eighth over. He had earlier smashed three sixes and scooped a four from the first four balls of a devastating sixth over with Alzarri Joseph bowling. The 34-year-old, who stepped down as white-ball captain last February following England's group-stage exit from the Champions Trophy, continued to look like a man relieved of a heavy burden as he hit six fours and four sixes. Needing just four for the century, he was out lbw to Joseph in the penultimate over. The tally was Buttler's highest T20 international score on home soil. West Indies were 33-2 off 5.2 overs after losing Johnson Charles for 18, stumped by Buttler off Dawson, and Hope caught by Duckett, who repaid his own dismissal in like-for-like fashion, for three off debutant Matthew Potts. England restricted the visitors to 44-2 at the end of the powerplay, compared to 78-1 at the same stage of the home innings. Evin Lewis hit West Indies top score of 39 off 23 balls, before being caught by Brydon Carse with Jacob Bethell bowling. Dawson, back in the side at 35 and playing his first England match since 2022, claimed his second and third wickets when Duckett caught Sherfane Rutherford (2) and Roston Chase (24) in quick succession. The left-arm spinner wrapped up with a fourth wicket, for 20 runs from his four overs, by bowling Rovman Powell as West Indies slipped to 115-6 on a tough night in the north-east.
