Ashes 2013: Rain threatens fourth day at The Oval Heavy overnight rain in London has threatened the fourth day of the final Ashes Test between England and Australia at The Oval. With the rain still continuing on Saturday morning, and more forecast for later, a prompt start at 1100 BST is looking unlikely. England had reached 247-4 by the end of day three in reply to Australia's first innings total of 402-9 declared. The hosts lead the series 3-0 and have already secured the Ashes.
