In this quiz, you have to match the cricketing Oval to the city in which it is located.
Unlike other sports, cricket does not have exact specifications regarding the size, or even the shape of a venue. While the pitch itself is highly regulated, the playing surface as a whole remains rather more loose.
Quiz! How well do you know these international captaincy firsts?
Cricket grounds are often conceived of as being circular, and many are, for the most part. Some have odd shapes in keeping with the geography around the stands, but if not circular most venues are oblong, or oval, in shape.
No wonder then, that several cricket grounds bear the word "Oval" as part of their official name. One of these venues is hosting the fifth Test between India and England.

In this quiz, you have to match the given name of the Oval ground, with the city in which it is located. When prompted, simply click on the city in which you think that ground is. As usual, you get only one chance to answer correctly. Get it wrong on the first try, and that question will be marked as having a wrong answer.
Here, we have provided the name of the ground, as well as the country in which it is located, to help you out (this will come in handy for a few of the lesser-known venues). You have five minutes in all, to correctly identify the city for 25 grounds. Good luck!
