Deciding Test set to resume

ENGLAND’S deciding Test match against South Africa at the Kia Oval will resume as scheduled today following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Today will remain day three of a five-day Test, with the match not able to be extended.

After day one was entirely washed out, day two of the third Test yesterday was cancelled as a mark of respect after the death of the Queen, aged 96.

England women’s first Twenty20 against India will also go ahead.

A minute’s silence will be observed before each match, followed by the national anthem. All players and coaches will wear black armbands, and fancy dress for fans will not be permitted.
