I wonder if we will have a few overs to bat out in the dim light this evening.

If I had looked it would have guaranteed a Sussex wicket falling.......anyway, Salt has a scoring rate of 18.75..... has he turned in to a pillar of Salt ?
6 Overs for Sussex to face......................................and breathe!
11-0 at close. Draw anybody?

What is the earliest times the captains can agree a draw assuming Sussex dont get bowled out quickly. It seems pointless going to close if we are still in bat.

I think @BG has been whooshing all of us all along.............

Actually, it's not such a daft question. Is there actually a point after which the captains can agree to call it a day - but not before - laid down in the regulations? I imagine if they both decided they'd got something better to be doing tomorrow and called it a day now there'd be something of a furore - but at what point, if say, Sussex are still batting, can it be called off as a draw by mutual consent?

There is a point. Never bothered to know it precisely as it is always a bit pointless by that stage. They essentially have to keep playing out most of the day but usually ends up finishing about 40 minutes to an hour early... the team batting usually declares and that helps by ten minutes...

That was my point and as an example we are 280 ahead at teatime the likelihood of either side forcing a win is very small. Then it seems pointless to continue

There is....some when after tea.....but also you might have the two captains earlier in the day somehow contriving the prospect of a result
So - forgetting about the challenging declaration scenario - they couldn't just agree to pack it in any time before tea then?
Nope. Official law states :
12.1.2.1If both captains (the batsmen at the wicket may act for their captain) accept that there is no prospect of either side achieving a victory, they may agree to finish the match after the time for the commencement of the last hour has been reached.
Yep. And as Erkan says, the batting team usually declares so the match finishes about 70 minutes before the scheduled close
