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.

Swiss seek recognition from UN as tradition turns modern

Yodel-ay-hee...what?! Those famed yodeling calls that for centuries have echoed through the Alps, and more recently have morphed into popular song and folk music, could soon reap a response - from faraway Paris. Switzerland’s government is looking for a shout-out from U.N. cultural agency UNESCO, based in the French capital, to include the tradition of yodeling on its list of intangible cultural heritage. A decision is expected by year-end. Modern-day promoters emphasize that the yodel is far more than the mountain cries of yesteryear by falsetto-bellowing male herders in suspenders who intone alongside giant alphorn instruments atop verdant hillsides. It’s now a popular form of singing.
