(c) Except in the last hour of the match, in the event of play being suspended for any reason other than normal intervals, the playing time on that day shall be extended by the amount of time lost up to a maximum of one hour. In these circumstances, the minimum number of overs to be bowled shall be in accordance with the minimum over rate requirements.
If play has been suspended for 30 minutes or more prior to the commencement of the scheduled tea interval, the tea interval shall be delayed for half an hour.
If any further playing time is lost, additional time of up to a maximum of one hour per day shall be added to the playing hours for the next or subsequent day(s) as required. Of this additional time the first 30 minutes or less shall be added prior to the scheduled start of the first Session and the remainder shall be added to the last Session.
When additional time is added to subsequent day(s), no scheduled day's play shall exceed 7 hours. The length of each Session of play under this experimental condition is subject to the provisions of Law 15.
Under Law 15.5 timings can be altered at any time on any day if playing time is lost, not necessarily on that day. The captains, umpires and the referee can agree different timings under those circumstances before play starts on any day.
(d) Any State wishing to change the hours of play must first obtain approval from ACB.
(e) The umpires may decide to play 30 minutes (a minimum of eight overs) extra time at the end of any day if requested by either captain if, in the umpires opinion, it would bring about a definite result on that day (this is in addition to the maximum one hour's extra time provided for in 3.3 (c) above). If the umpires do not believe a result can be achieved no extra time shall be allowed.
If it is decided to play such extra time on one or more of these days, the whole period shall be played out even though the possibility of finishing the match may have disappeared before the full period has expired. Only the actual amount of playing time up to the maximum 30 minutes extra time by which play is extended on any day shall be deducted from the total number of hours of play remaining, and the match shall end earlier on the final day by the amount of time by which play was previously extended under this clause.

3.7 Tea Interval
The interval shall be of 20 minutes duration from the scheduled commencement time for the interval or at the conclusion of the over in progress at the scheduled time subject to the provisions of Law 15.

The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes:

The restriction in (i) and (ii) above shall not apply if the player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness) and consent for a Substitute has been granted by the opposing Captain.

12.4 Law 42.6 (a) (i) The Bowling of Fast, Short Pitched Balls
The bowling of fast short pitched balls is unfair if the Umpire at the bowler's end considers that by their repetition and taking into account their length, height and direction, they are likely to inflict physical injury on the striker, irrespective of the protective clothing and equipment he may be wearing. The relative skill of the striker shall also be taken into consideration.
In the event of such unfair bowling, the Umpire at the bowler's end shall adopt the following procedure:
(a) In the first instance the Umpire shall call and signal no ball, caution the bowler and inform the other Umpire, the Captain of the fielding side and the batsmen of what has occurred.
(b) If this caution is ineffective, he shall repeat the above procedure and indicate to the bowler that this is a final warning.
(c) Both the above caution and final warning shall continue to apply even though the bowler may later change ends.
(d) Should the above warning prove ineffective the Umpire at the bowler's end shall
(i) At the first repetition call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the Captain to take the bowler off forthwith and to complete the over with another bowler, provided that the bowler does not bowl two overs or part thereof consecutively. See Law 22.8 (bowler Incapacitated or Suspended during an Over).
(ii) Not allow the bowler, thus taken off, to bowl again in the same innings.
(iii) Report the occurrence to the Captain of the batting side as soon as the players leave the field for an interval.

(b) A fast short pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of the batsman standing upright at the crease.
(c) In the event of a bowler bowling more than two fast short pitched deliveries in an over, either umpire shall call and signal no ball on each occasion.
(d) The penalty for a fast short pitched no ball shall be one run, plus any runs scored from the delivery.
(e) A differential signal shall be used to signify a fast short pitched delivery. The Umpire shall call and signal no ball and then tap the head with the other hand.
If a bowler delivers a third fast short pitched ball in an over, not only must the Umpire call no ball, but he must invoke the procedures of Law 42.7 (a) in regard to cautioning the bowler.
If a bowler is no balled a second time in the innings for the same offence, the Umpire shall advise the bowler this is his final warning as provided for in Law 42.7 (b).
A third such offence in the same innings shall cause the Umpire to invoke Law 42.7 (c) i.e. the bowler shall be removed forthwith and cannot bowl again in that innings
The above is not a substitute for Law 42.6 (a) (i) (as amended) which Umpires are able to apply at any time.
12.6 Law 42.6 (b) - The Bowling of Fast, High, Full Pitched Balls
The bowling of fast high full pitched balls is unfair. Any fast high full pitched ball which passes or would have passed above waist height of the batsman standing upright at the crease shall be called and signalled no ball by the umpire at the bowler's end.
In the event of a bowler bowling a fast high full pitched ball (i.e. a beamer), the umpire at the bowler's end shall adopt the following procedure:
(a) In the first instance the umpire shall call and signal no ball, caution the bowler and issue a first and final warning and inform the other umpire, captain of the fielding side and the batsman of what has occurred.
(b) At the first repetition call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain of the fielding side to take the bowler off forthwith and to complete the over with another bowler, provided that the bowler does not bowl two overs or part thereof consecutively.
(c) Not allow the bowler, thus taken off, to bowl again in the same innings.
(d) Report the occurrence to both captains and the Governing Body responsible for the match who shall take any further action which is considered to be appropriate against the bowler concerned.

14.1
(a) on days other than the last day - minimum of 96 overs.
(b) on the last day - a minimum of 80 overs (or 16 overs per hour) for playing time other than the last hour when Clause 14.5 below shall apply.
