Day two of the third test between England and South Africa has been suspended as a mark of respect for Queen Elizabeth following her demise. The cricket board of England will join the nation in the mourning on Friday. Albeit the day has been suspended, the chances for the series to get completed are pretty high.

The board clarified that no scheduled cricket would take place on Friday. The third test could resume on Saturday following a day of mourning. The board further clarified along with the test, all matches might resume on Saturday (September 10).

“Following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Friday’s play between England and South Africa Men at The Oval, along with all scheduled matches in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, will not take place. For fixtures beyond Friday, updates will be provided in due course,” the board said in a statement.

Richard Thompson expresses his grief 

Richard Thompson, the new chief, expressed his grief on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. He spoke about the support that the board received from the Queen. The chief joined the nation in mourning the demise of the beloved soul.

“I’m sure I speak for everyone in the game when I say how truly sad I am to hear of the Queen’s passing. Her Majesty has been such a great supporter of the game and was always so vocal of her and her late husband’s enjoyment around the sport. Her dedication to her country will never be forgotten. For her service and her selflessness over her extraordinary reign, we owe her a debt that can never be repaid,” he was quoted as saying.

Reportedly, the board of South Africa have agreed to say a bit longer if needed to complete the series. The two boards mutually agreed to support the government’s call for a day of mourning on Friday. The series stands at 1-1 with England bouncing back in the second test. The unfortunate incident has shaken the entire nation and many cricketers from England are expressing their grief.
