There are high chances of a delayed start to the first day of the fifth Ashes 2023 Test match between England and Australia. Scheduled to begin at The Oval tomorrow, the match has it in it to commence from where the previous Test at Old Trafford had culminated, i.e., rain pouring over the venue.

That being said, there are minute chances as far as the whole day’s play getting washed out is concerned. As a result, even an elongated interruption in the morning session should be followed by two uninterrupted sessions. Session timings, meanwhile, could also be altered depending on the duration of the rain break(s).
Last week is done.
Now set and ready to level the series 💪

Kia Oval Weather Tomorrow
Although it is not raining in London at the moment, it is highly likely to at night. With reliable weather portal AccuWeather predicting a rain probability around 70% at late night and early morning tomorrow, reverberations of the same might be experienced in the morning as well.
Slated to be played between 11:00 AM – 01:00 PM (local time), the morning session on Day 1 has been slotted with a rain probability of 66%. Although the number is being predicted to reduce to 49% around the time of the lunch interval, it is still considerable enough to force players back into their respective dressing rooms.
Speaking about the second and third sessions, a constant 20% rain probability throughout the remaining playing hours shouldn’t possess any major challenge for the players and match officials on Thursday. It is needless to say that the same is a welcoming development for cricket fans across the globe as they have witnessed a couple of Tests getting affected by inclement weather conditions of late.

11:00 AM – 19 degree (Rain Probability – 66%).
