Scorecard<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The first day of England’s deciding Test against South Africa at The Oval was abandoned without a ball being bowled.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Persistent showers in London prevented any action after England won the toss and chose to field.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Heavy overnight rain caused an original delay of 30 minutes, pushing the scheduled start to 11:30 BST.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunshine gave way to more bad weather, which swept in sporadically across the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

A dry spell allowed an inspection at 15:10 and a further look at the ground was scheduled for 16:00, but more rain arrived to end the prospect of play.<\/span><\/p>\n

England had already confirmed their XI, handing a debut to batter Harry Brook, while South Africa have made four changes to the side that was beaten in the second Test at Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryan Rickelton has replaced injured batter Rassie van der Dussen and the out-of-form Aidan Markram made way for Khaya Zondo in the middle order.<\/span><\/p>\n

All-rounders Marcos Jansen and Wiann Mulder are in for pace bowler Lungi Ngidi and off-spinner Simon Harmer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series is level at 1-1, both sides having won a Test apiece by an innings inside three days. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
