Postpublished at 10:37 British Summer Time 7 September
Before we look ahead to what we can expect today, let's have a look back at the best of the action from day one.
It was a memorable day for Ollie Pope as he scored his seventh Test hundred - and first as captain - on his home ground.
Sit back and enjoy the highlights of a fine innings (and one that's not done yet)...
Good morningpublished at 10:31 British Summer Time 7 September
We're all set for day two at The Oval - and the good news is that it's dry.
After just 44.1 overs were bowled yesterday because of combination rain and bad light, fingers crossed for more cricket today.
England resume in a strong position at 221-3 with stand-in skipper Ollie Pope unbeaten on 103.
