England v South Africa: third Test, day one delayed by rain – live! (The Guardian)

Over-by-over report: Join our writers for updates as the series-deciding Test gets under way at The Oval.

Yes, England are playing differently, but the real change – to me at least – is the players accepting responsibility, not “for winning cricket matches” but for sustaining this thing of ours forever and beyond. At Lord’s, he called correctly and made the correct call; at Old Trafford he called correctly and made the incorrect call. As such, we’ve had only half of the action for which we were hoping and are only getting three matches not four, so it feels like we’ve not really seen a series … “Come on Billy,” he says, “Just give me that roar of the crowd that I’m after.” And they’re there in the circle to see him presented with his cap by Joe Root – I’ve not the foggiest how they’re holding it down, because I’m feeling emotional myself. But now, I’m brining them and rotissrising them, then dipping them in the sauce, finishing them off on the grill, and tossing them in the sauce.

We’ve missed a big shower but caught the edge of it, and it’s absolutely caning down. So, what’s the least happy – or most happy – you’ve ever been at the match, and why? I reckon that’s the most miserable I’ve ever been at the cricket – I was starting law school the following day and was in total disbelief at what I was doing to myself.

The England vs South Africa third Test will be broadcast live on Sony Sports Network. The likes of Elgar, Sarel Erwee have to shine in the series decider else they could suffer a series defeat. The pitch in Oval is going to assist the batters, but it has something for the bolwers to work upon. With the kind of cricket South Africa have played in the last 12 months, they are going to be a tough team to beat at the Oval. The table turned in the second Test with Proteas beating England by an innings and 12 runs. The announcement of the Queen’s death at the age of 96 came at 6.30pm on Thursday, the scheduled first day of the Test, after which the ECB confirmed that no scheduled cricket would take place on Friday.
