Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bowl vs England

Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bowl first under heavy skies in the third and final Test at The Kia Oval, where England are seeking a clean sweep of the series.

After heavy showers in parts of London and Surrey early in the morning, play was set to begin on time with complete cloud cover and the floodlights blazing but no sign of rain.

"There's no pressure from inside the dressing room and he's got a great opportunity to show what he's got," Pope said. "He's been bowling beautifully in the nets and in the warm-up."
