Toss Delay Due to Traffic Issues

The third One Day International (ODI) match between West Indies and England at the Kennington Oval in London experienced a delay in its toss. Contrary to expectations, the cause was not rain or a wet pitch, but rather the West Indies team being stuck in heavy city traffic, preventing them from reaching the venue on time.

The toss, originally scheduled for 5:00 PM IST (12:30 PM local time), was postponed due to the late arrival of the players. Consequently, the match, which was set to start at 5:30 PM IST (1:00 PM local), also faced delays.

Once the West Indies team finally made it to the stadium, a revised schedule was announced. The toss is now slated for 5:40 PM IST (1:10 PM local), with the match expected to kick off at 6:00 PM IST (1:30 PM local).

To complicate matters further, rain is forecasted. As the West Indies team traveled, the pitch was covered, and ominous clouds loomed over the stadium.
