5th Test: Rain delays start of fourth day

Rain prevented play starting as scheduled at 11 am local time (1000GMT) on the fourth day of the fifth and final Ashes Test between England and Australia at The Oval on Saturday.

Scorecard
Persistent early morning rain saw the pitch and square fully covered, with the prospect of any play before lunch slim as officials announced they were bringing the interval forward by 30 minutes to 12:30pm (1130GMT).

England were 246 for four at stumps on the third day in reply to Australia's first innings 492 for nine declared,

That left England 245 runs behind and still requiring a further 46 runs to avoid the follow-on.

Ian Bell, who came into this match having scored exactly 500 runs in the series with three hundreds, was 29 not out and Test debutant Chris Woakes unbeaten on 15.

England have already retained the Ashes and won the series at 3-0 up.
