• after lunch and before the tea break is the second session.
• After tea, the third session continues until the umpire signals the conclusion of the day’s play.
• Players have a 20-minute tea break and a 40-minute lunch break.
• If a session doesn’t get the required 30 overs because of bad weather or another problem, an effort is made to make up the shortfall in the subsequent sessions.
