(a) There shall be no bowling or batting practice on the pitch, or on the area

parallel and immediately adjacent to the pitch, at any time on any day of the

match.

(b) There shall be no bowling or batting practice on any other part of the square

on any day of the match, except before the start of play or after the close of play

on that day. Practice before the start of play

(i) must not continue later than 30 minutes before the scheduled time or

any rescheduled time for play to start on that day.

(ii) shall not be allowed if the umpires consider that, in the prevailing

conditions of ground and weather, it will be detrimental to the surface

of the square.

(c) There shall be no practice on the field of play between the call of Play and the

call of Time, if the umpire considers that it could result in a waste of time. See

Law 42.9 (Time wasting by the fielding side).

(d) If a player contravenes (a) or (b) above he shall not be allowed to bowl until at

least 5 complete overs have been bowled by his side after the contravention. If an

over is in progress at the contravention he shall not be allowed to complete that

over nor shall the remaining part-over count towards the 5 overs above.

No bowler shall have a trial run up between the call of Play and the call of Time

unless the umpire is satisfied that it will not cause any waste of time.
