FROM THE ECB:
Arrival at The Kia Oval
All supporters and players should access the ground via the Hobbs Gate which
is the one nearest to the Oval tube station (which is on the Northern Line).
For those supporters arriving by coach, they can be dropped off at the Hobbs
Gate but the coach will have to find an alternative place to park nearby as
there will be no parking at the ground for coaches. All supporters will be
based in the Pavilions and Bedser stands at the Hobbs Gate end of the ground.

Entrance to the ground will be free of charge and catering and refreshment facilities will be open at the ground.
Coverage for those not at the ground:
As mentioned, the game will be live on Sky Sports, but if cannot be near a TV, it is best to follow @banburysport on twitter as the Banbury Guardian will be providing coverage via that feed. It may not be possible for the club to provide updates from its own feed. The socres will also be on the ECB cricket app and tweeted by the ECB.
There will be full previews in Thursdays Oxford Mail and Banbury Guardian.
