However, rain is not expected to play spoilsport this time even as light spells of rain are predicted on Saturday and Sunday - Day 4 and Day 5 - of the final. A reserve day is in play for the final on Monday

The match also marks the first instance of the Oval hosting a Test in the month of June since its first game in 1880.
