First it was the London traffic. Then it was the rain. Delays impacted the progress of the one-day international between England and the West Indies at the Oval on Tuesday.

Traffic chaos, rain delay England-WI match as some players arrive on bikes

The match got off to a late start after traffic congestion in the capital caused chaos to the teams' travel plans. Both sides got stuck on their team buses on the way to the ground in south London, with England's players deciding to get off and ride bikes to the Oval instead.

The players were seen riding electrically-assisted Lime Bikes.

Traffic light failures and road closures near Vauxhall Bridge had caused the chaos, with England captain Harry Brook saying they had decided to take matters into their own hands.
