Where is the World Test Championship final?
This year's final will be played at The Oval in London.
It will be the second-ever WTC final after the maiden edition was played at the Rose Bowl in the English south coast city of Southampton.
Initially scheduled for the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground, the Rose Bowl's on-site accommodation meant it could facilitate a bio-secure bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Zealand defeated India by eight wickets to take out the inaugural WTC.
