England team beat London traffic 'in style' as West Indies get caught in chaos; arrive at The Oval on cycles
The third and final ODI between England and the West Indies at The Oval witnessed a delay in the toss owing to a bizarre reason. The Shai Hope-led squad had apparently reached the venue late as they were stuck in heavy traffic in London, resulting in a considerable delay. However, as the development went viral on social media, England Cricket's social media page revealed how their players beat the traffic to reach the venue on time. In the 23-second clip captioned, "Arriving at the ground in style. Only one way to beat the road closures in London," England cricket showed that the players managed to negate the heavy traffic by arriving at the stadium on cycles. "We were on the bus for a while and then we all decided to get off and get on some lime bikes in. We were in a little bit earlier than the West Indies boys, but we are here now ready to go," England captain Harry Brook later said at the time of the toss. West Indies players were late to the venue by almost 15 minutes, which resulted in the toss being delayed by 40 minutes. However, no overs were lost. England opted to bowl first in the final game of the series, with Brook making no changes to the playing XI. "We haven't had a chat yet but it's going to be 'let's try to be as dominant as possible.' We have got an opportunity here to try and win the series 3-0 and we're going to giving it our best crack. There was one area - Root's big score - something we didn't have in the first game which is really nice to see. Hopefully a few other lads can have that as well today. I quite like the balance that we've got, we've got a lot of depth with the bat and that gives us opportunities to chase scores like that down the other day where we had a tough start. We've got a good bowling unit as well," he said. West Indies made two changes with Evin Lewis and Shamar Joseph coming in. "We were a lot more competitive (in the previous game), the chats that we had before the game, we definitely executed a lot better with both bat and ball. I just want to see the same again today and hopefully we get a win today. A bit more clinical with our tactics, taking each moment as they come, executing those plans and make sure that we have that positive mindset that we always speak about and be as consistent as possible," Hope said. West Indies, who lost both the first two matches, are aiming for a consolation win in London, before the proceedings head to the T20I series, which will also comprise three matches.

West Indies fined for slow over-rate in first ODI against England
Dubai: West Indies have been fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during the first ODI against England held on Thursday in Edgbaston, Birmingham. Shai Hope-led side has been penalised for falling an over short against England in the first ODI. "Match Referee Jeff Crowe of the ICC Elite Panel imposed a five per cent fine on each player's match fee after Hope's team was found to be one over short of the required target at the end of the innings, once time allowances were taken into consideration," ICC said in a statement. "The penalty is in line with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences. As per ICC regulations, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for each over their side fails to bowl within the allotted time," it added. West Indies captain Shai Hope accepted the sanction for the offence, with a formal hearing not deemed necessary. The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Martin Saggers, along with third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd. England registered a massive 238-run win after posting 400/8 on the board, courtesy sizzling half-centuries from Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell. In response to England's mammoth score, the West Indies were bowled out for 162, with Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton grabbing three wickets apiece. England will be without all-rounder Jamie Overton who has been ruled out of the white-ball series due to a broken right little finger. Matthew Potts has been selected to come in as his replacement and is set to make his 10th ODI appearance for England. The second ODI between the two sides will be played in Cardiff on Sunday. Victory in Cardiff would hand England series victory against the West Indies with one game to play.
