England v Sri Lanka, 1st ODI, The Oval

Umpires will inspect again at 4.30pm as worried about areas of the outfield.

It's supposed to be tea at 4.30 ! 

Good news, we are going to restart at 5pm, the umpires just want to give it a little longer for the outfield to dry out. It will be a 39-overs per side match, with an eight over initial Powerplay and four over batting Powerplay

SL surely has a good chance of winning the 1st ODI considering d break and the restart in the English innings due to rain.

England 147/4 (30/39 ov)

154 - 5 after 32

178 - 5 after 34
