England secured a commanding 3-0 series victory over West Indies in the third ODI at The Oval, despite significant logistical challenges caused by London traffic gridlock. Heavy traffic, including broken-down buses, traffic light failures, and roadworks, delayed both teams' arrivals, forcing players to use bikes, trains, and walk to reach the ground. England's players, including Harry Brook and Joe Root, resorted to Lime bikes and walking, while West Indies players endured a two-hour bus journey. The delayed start pushed back the toss and disrupted pre-match preparations, with the toss eventually taking place 20 minutes late and England opting to bowl. England's victory was marked by early wickets from the West Indies, who struggled to recover. The chaotic buildup to the match was humorously highlighted by England players arriving on Lime bikes to beat traffic, and commentators joked about the absence of a second team due to the delays. The series continues with three T20 matches starting June 6, following the ODI series. The incident underscores the impact of London's traffic congestion on major sporting events.
