ECB statement
2pm: The Test match will go ahead on Saturday, although it has not yet been decided if an extra day will be added. Currently it will "go ahead as scheduled" - so tomorrow will be day three of five - but the ECB is still "exploring" whether it is possible to extend the match into Tuesday.

Here is the full statement: "Cricket will resume on Saturday to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and honour her remarkable life and service.

"Following the cancellation of Friday's cricket fixtures as a mark of respect on announcement of her death, the England and Wales Cricket Board can confirm that play will resume from Saturday including international, domestic, and recreational fixtures. The decision has been taken after consultation with DCMS and in line with Official National Mourning guidance.

"This means the Men's Test match between England and South Africa will begin at The Oval and the Women's IT20 match between England and India will also go ahead at the Riverside in Durham. The scheduled match between England and Sri Lanka Men's U19 along with recreational cricket fixtures will also take place as planned.
