Nelly Aug 2013 3:16pm, 5 Aug 2013 1,104 posts	0 Nelly The ICC don't like making the regulations clear do they??? I've just been looking at them with respect to what time the game can go on until today, and I think it can go on until 15 overs after 6pm (presuming they are still playing at the time). Does anybody know the regulations well enough to confirm this (or heard it discussed elsewhere)? If so, I may pop across to Old Trafford about 5:30.
