One over deducted from each innings. d) No more than 40 overs can be lost to inclement conditions before play commences as each innings must consist of minimum 25/20 overs for 90/80 over cricket respectively. The latest start time is therefore 3 hrs 5 mins after the scheduled start time. ((20 overs x 7 minutes = 140) + 15 + 30 (early tea)). e) After the game has commenced subsequent stoppages reduce the innings by one over per side for each 7 mins lost. At the interval between innings Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method is used to determine the par score and the target score for the win. If there are further stoppages then before the commencement of play a new par score is calculated. If the team batting second does not get to continue their innings and each side has batted a minimum of 20 overs then DLS is used to decide the result. f) The Cheshire Cricket League has adopted the Play Cricket scorer app to calculate the DLS par score. No other App is allowed and it is the captain's responsibility to ensure they have access to the app and the knowledge to use it. 84
