The fifth Test of India vs England Series is being played at the Oval ground. England won the toss and invited Team India to bat first. The first session of the first day was also not over that the rain stopped the game. This match is very important from the point of view of Team India because even if this match is drawn, India will lose this series 1-2. Since there is a possibility of rain in the Oval Test the next days, let us know whether the rules of Test cricket change when rain comes?

Do the rules change?

When it rains in white ball matches, a new target is set by cutting over -overs through the DLS Rules, but the DLS rule is not implemented in Test matches. The rules are not changed when the rain comes in Test matches, but the rain can have a profound impact on the schedule and results.

When rain comes, the number of overs thrown during the day is cut. There are three sessions in a day in a Test match, but in the event of rain, it is possible to change the timing of the session. For example, if it rains just before lunch or tea, lunch is announced only when rain comes.

How is the winner’s decision?

Usually, the result of the Test match comes out as a draw when high rainfall comes. But in the year 2000, South Africa and England had set new standards in the game of cricket. Most of the time in the match continued to rain, so South Africa and England had declared their respective innings on 0 runs. However, doing so depends entirely on the team management.

At the time of the game, the host England Cloe is needed by 190 runs and all its 10 wickets are left. In particular, Ben Docket has started batting in a rapid manner after completing a century, if this attitude towards Indian bowlers continues, England can easily win.

If the game is canceled due to rain, then Team India will survive the defeat, as well as it will also get 4 points in the points table of the World Test Championship.
