Jake where did you get the info?
See as I understand it, the scheduled close was 6.30 because there were 98 overs to be played. The rules allow for half an hour to make up any unplayed overs.
Play only gets scheduled to close at 7 if there have been delays on that specific day.
The programme scheduled to come on after the cricket was 'Football's Greatest' and they hung around chatting in the studio for a while. Yesterday when play finished they finished transmission straight away.

Okay that's good. Hopefully you're right. The idea of broadcasters having even more of a say on cricket than they already have is problematic.

Just to clarify, the footy on at 7.30 is the England U21s. Programme was scheduled to start at 7.30 with a 7.45 KO so I can't see the cricket causing it any problems.
Sky also often change the channel line-ups when live programmes clash.
Like I say, I'm not 100% but I think this might just be a rumour based around circumstance

And probably just that.
Rumours transform into assumptions. And we all know whose mother assumption is....

Am I completely missing the point when suggesting an early start?

They don't like to because of dew
Used to start at that time when cricket was on 4 though, so to avoid pushing The Simpsons and Hollyoaks back

Yeah, this sounds good. Sky can't change playing conditions mid-match!

I'm not sure when and where the regulations were brought in, but I'm fairly certain that the final session in England cannot ever go past 7.30pm any longer, for any reason.

According to the weather forecaster aggers retweeted "cloud giving poor light. showery rain heading in mid afternoon."

Yeah, they had them on yesterday.We'll have it sorted by mid-afternoon. Surely they can just put the lights on if there's an issue.
Just need to get Sangakarra quickly, then surely we're sorted.
