Law 10: Rolling, Sweeping, Mowing, Watering The Pitch and Re- Marking of Creases1. RollingDuring the match the pitch may be rolled at the request of the Captain of the batting side, for a period of not more than 7 minutes before the start of each innings, other than the first innings of the match, and before the start of each day's play. In addition, if, after the toss and before the first innings of the match, the start is delayed, the Captain of the batting side may request to have the pitch rolled for not more than 7 minutes. However, if in the opinion of the Umpires, the delay has had no significant effect upon the state of the pitch, they shall refuse any request for the rolling of the pitch.The pitch shall not otherwise be rolled during the match. The 7 minutes rolling permitted before the start of a day's play shall take place not earlier than half an hour before the start of play and the Captain of the batting side may delay such rolling until 10 minutes before the start of play should he so desire. If a Captain declares an innings closed less than 15 minutes before the resumption of play, and the other Captain is thereby prevented from exercising his option of 7 minutes rolling or if he is so prevented for any other reason the time for rolling shall be taken out of the normal playing time.
2. SweepingSuch sweeping of the pitch as is necessary during the match shall be done so that the 7 minutes allowed for rolling the pitch provided for in 1. above is not affected.
3. Mowing(a) Responsibilities of Ground Authority and of UmpiresAll mowings which are carried out before the toss for innings shall be the responsibility of the Ground Authority. Thereafter they shall be carried out under the supervision of the Umpires, see Law 7.2 (Selection and Preparation).
(b) Initial Mowing
(c) Subsequent Mowings in a Match of 2 or More Days' Duration
(d) Mowing of the Outfield in a Match of 2 or More Days' Duration
In order to ensure that conditions are as similar as possible for
both sides, the outfield shall normally be mown before the commencement
of play on each day of the match, if ground and weather
conditions allow. See Note (b) to this Law.
Notes(a) Non-Turf PitchesThe above Law 10 applies to turf pitches. The game is played on non-urf pitches in many countries at various levels. Whilst the conduct of the game on these surfaces should always be in accordance with the Laws of Cricket, it is recognised that it may sometimes be necessary for Governing Bodies to lay down special playing conditions to suit the type of non-turf pitch used in their country. In matches played against Touring Teams, any special playing conditions should be agreed in advance by both parties.
(b) Mowing of the Outfield in a Match of 2 or More Days' Duration
(c) Choice of Roller
