Any intervals due shall be of the full duration. 3.2.9 The Umpires shall inform the fielding team Captain when taking the field for the first time and on every subsequent occasion if play is interrupted by the prevailing ground, weather or light conditions, of the scheduled cessation time for that innings. The Umpires shall also inform the fielding team Captain after one hour’s play, the time remaining at the end of the drinks interval, and when one hour of play remains. The Umpire at the bowler’s end will inform the fielding Captain, the batsman and his fellow Umpire of any time allowances as and when they arise (this matter will not be subject to retrospective negotiation). 3.3 Matches not Interrupted or Delayed by Weather, Light or Other Unforeseen Circumstances 3.3.1 Each side shall bat for 50 overs (Championship) or 46 overs (Division 1‐6) unless all out earlier. 3.4 Matches Delayed at the Start or Interrupted by Weather, Light or Unforeseen Circumstances 3.4.1 When a match is delayed, the number of overs shall be arranged so that both teams have the opportunity of batting for the same number of overs. 3.4.2 No match shall be reduced to less than 6 0 overs (Championship) or 52 overs (Division 1‐6) scheduled at 3 0 overs (Championship) or 26 overs (Division 1‐6). 3.4.3 If the team fielding fails to bowl the required number of overs within the re‐ calculated time allowance, the provisions in Rule 3.2.8 shall apply. The calculation of the time allowance with which to bowl the allocated overs is based on one over for each 3½ minutes, rounded up to the nearest minute where appropriate. The calculations are shown in Appendix 1 (Championship) or Appendix 2 (Divisions 1‐6). 3.4.5 The number of runs required to achieve batting bonus points, when not winning the match, will be adjusted and are shown in Appendix 1 (Championship) or Appendix 2 (Divisions 1‐6). 3.4.6 If, after 2 hour has elapsed, or after the game has started, interference by weather, light or unforeseen circumstances amounts to more than 30 minutes, a time limit shall be applied from the time 5½ hours (Championship) or 5 hours (Division 1‐6) after the scheduled start of play.
