Updated Start Time for Day Three of the Test Match at Hagley Oval
Hagley Oval has confirmed a revised first-ball start time of 10.58am for Day 3 of the Test match.
A brief rain delay earlier today caused a small disruption, but the combination of an early start this morning and a later-than-scheduled finish has helped pull the match close to back on track. With the original first-ball time set for 11.00am, tomorrow’s adjusted start allows officials to fine-tune the schedule and ensure as much play as possible is completed across the remaining days.
All venue operations will continue as normal, with gates opening at the usual time. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early and settle in for another full day of Test cricket as the match builds into a key phase.
Any further updates will be provided across our official channels.
Please note: All timings are approximate and subject to change. Play can start at 10:30am on Days 2 – 5 if time has been lost due to weather. Play can also extend to 6:30pm for a slow over rate or 7pm if weather has delayed play. Lunch and tea timings are more or less fixed unless there is a change of innings close to the scheduled break.
