England have won the toss and have opted to field
After putting up back-to-back ordinary performances in the last two ODIs, where the entire top order ended up getting starts but failed to carry it forward, they would need to pull up their socks to put up a fight against an inspired England side. On a ground where they've enjoyed reasonable success in the past, let us hope that the dark clouds stay away and give us an entire game. Well, the good news is that the drizzle has now given way to sunshine and the covers are off the ground to make way for the two captains at the toss..
Hello and a very warm welcome to our coverage of the fourth One Day International from The Oval. On a day the ICC big wigs meet in order to discuss the relevance and the future of ODIs, let us hope that we end up getting a contest worthy of a probable decider, or a contest at least given how gloomy the skies are out there in London. After being one down in the series, the Lankan hopes rest on today's contest in order to keep their hopes alive of getting a sweet result on a pretty bitter tour so far.
