After winning both the Test matches with huge margins, England will take on Sri Lanka in the 3rd Test match at the Kennington Oval, London, on September 6. Joe Root has been terrific for England, scoring centuries in both innings of the 2nd Test match. Moreover, Gus Atkinson has turned out to be the best all-rounder for England in the series.
While the series is under the WTC cycle, England are making the most out of the given opportunity. On the other hand, Sri Lanka's batting and bowling haven't been great so far. Hence, they'll look to turn the tables in the last match with their performance. Moreover, this game is very important for England as well to improve their WTC 2025 rankings.

Pitch Report:
The Kennington Oval pitch is specially designed for bowlers, and they will make use of it. The ball will have certain movements, frustrating the batters most of the time. However, any captain who wins the toss should look to bowl first and give the opponent a chance to face the lethal bowlers.
