The England-West Indies one-day international was delayed on Tuesday because the West Indies team could not reach the Oval in time. While England were in the ground and conducting their warmup, a statement was released from Surrey Cricket saying โ€œone of the playing teamsโ€ is โ€œstuck in heavy traffic north of the riverโ€.

โ€œOnce all members of the playing teams arrive, the match officials will coordinate updated timings and discuss any impact on the schedule of play,โ€ the statement said.

The toss was delayed by 40 minutes to 1:10 p.m. local time and the start of the match was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. local time. Thatโ€™s a delay of 30 minutes. England has already clinched the three-match series after wins in Birmingham and Cardiff last week.
