LAW 12.6 12.7 12.8 CHANGES
Law 12.6 concerns the last hour of the match and the number of overs to be bowled
There is currently confusion in this area, even though it is rare for sides to bowl more than twenty overs in an hour
Assuming the close of play is 7.00pm, and the last hour is not called until 6.05pm, it is now clarified that, for additional overs to the minimum 20 to be bowled, the 20 overs must be completed by 7.00pm, not 7.05pm, and the scheduled close of play remains 7pm or once the minimum 20 overs have been bowled, whichever is later
