Looks like there are still fifteen overs remaining. They played until 6pm local time yesterday so I don't see that being a problem today. 57 runs needed.

How long to close of play ??????
Afternoon Rich, and everybody, and the bloke in the Aussie hat.

Just said on radio, turned floodlights on, makes it easier to come of for bad light, no I am not joking.

Rain stays away, should be Englands day.

Yeah. Nass said you're only allowed them to enhance the light, you can't use them when it's so dark that you need them on to keep on playing.

I've never seen penalty runs in any form of cricket. But you're going to have to help me here, NE, as I don't understand "nut-megged". What happened?

But should be over by then - hopefully....

Still not sure why they came off, seems to me that it was the Saffers choice and the batsmen were not happy at all.
