New Posts For Thread: England vs Sri Lanka 1st Testhttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30283441/england-vs-sri-lanka-1st-testLaid the draw.Weather looks good all 5 days, although this is England so need to keep an eye on the forecast.Lords normally produces a result when it doesn't rain.Didn't follow the ODIs, but looking at the results, both teams blew hot and cold. So,I don't understand why on the 5th day you carry on past 6.30pm to ensure 90 overs get bowled, but in days 1-4, 6.30pm is the cut off point and those overs not bowled are lost??? May as well play until 7pm to get the overs in if the light is fine!andhttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30283441/england-vs-sri-lanka-1st-test?post_id=539991515#539991515I don't understand why on the 5th day you carry on past 6.30pm to ensure 90 overs get bowled, but in days 1-4, 6.30pm is the cut off point and those overs not bowled are lost???
