If during a floodlit match, in the opinion of the Umpires, natural light is deteriorating to an unsuitable level, they may authorise the home authority to turn on the floodlights so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions. Once the floodlights have been turned on, they will remain on for the duration of the game. At day matches where the home authority has confirmed prior to the commencement of the match that floodlights are available, if in the opinion of the Umpires, natural light has deteriorated to an unsuitable level, they may authorise the home authority to turn on the floodlights so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions. In the event of floodlight malfunction or if the floodlights cannot be used for safety reasons with resultant loss of time, then Royal London One-Day Cup Playing Condition 12.2.2 shall apply as appropriate. 67 67 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 91 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 68 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and Gand Trophy G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 22/02/2018 11:52 11:52 Page Page 91 68 40 Law 40 – Timed out 3 2.3 Clothing and Equipment 40.1 Law 40 will apply except that the incoming batsman Playing Conditions – Royal London One-Day Cup mustIn all matches,be in position players to take shall guard wear orcoloured for his partnerclothing to and be readyequipment to receive approved the next by theball ECB.within 1 minute 30 seconds 2.3 Clothing and Equipment 40 Lawof the 40fall of– Timedthe previous out wicket or the retirement of a 3 2.4 Sight Screens 40.1 Lawbatsman.In all 40matches, will The apply playersincoming except shall batsman thatwear the coloured isincoming expected clothing batsman to and be readyequipment to make approved his way by to the the ECB. wicket immediately, and is Playing Conditions – Royal London One-Day Cup mustSight beScreens in position shall tobe take black. guard or for his partner to be readyexpected to receive to jog theto the next wicket. ball within 1 minute 30 seconds 2.4 ofSight the fallScreens of the previous wicket or the retirement of a 4 Law 4 – The ball batsman.Sight Screens The shallincoming be black. batsman is expected to be 4.1 readyAs for toCounty make Championship his way to the Playingwicket immediately,Conditions except and is expectedthat white toKookaburra jog to the wicket.balls shall be used. 4 Law 4 – The ball 4.14.2 AsEach for fieldingCounty Championshipteam shall have Playing two Conditionsnew balls exceptfor its thatinnings, white to Kookaburrabe used in alternate balls shall overs, be used. i.e. one from each end. 4.2 Each fielding team shall have two new balls for its 4.3 innings,In a match to bereduced used in to alternate 25 overs overs, or less i.e. per one side from before each end.the first innings commences, each team shall have only one new ball for its innings. 4.3 In a match reduced to 25 overs or less per side before County Championship Playing Condition 4.3.3 shall 4.4 the first innings commences, each team shall have only 6 applyLaw except6 – The that pitch the fielding Captain is limited to one new ball for its innings. 6.1 onePitch request Regulations per ball.
