We are currently planning on all of the T20 matches starting at 2.00pm and concluding by 6pm, with the exception of the Somerset fixture which is scheduled to start at 1.00pm so once again floodlights would only be used for top-up purposes at the ECB levels.
The Rachael Heyhoe-Flint matches are 50 over cricket and will start at 10.30am and are expected to conclude by 5.20pm. Again, the floodlight usage will hopefully be for top-up purposes only.
To date we have only used the floodlights once and therefore have 14 usages left for this season. We will not exceed this number and anticipate the usages once again being considerably less than the allowed amount.
Under current government guidance no spectators will be in attendance.
