England coach Chris Silverwood says he favours earlier starts to matches after the second Test with Pakistan was ruined by a mix of rain and bad light. LONDON: England coach Chris Silverwood says he is all for early starts to matches after bad light blighted the drawn second Test between England and Pakistan at Southampton.
Silverwood, speaking ahead of Friday's third and final Test, also at the Ageas Bowl in a series England lead 1-0, said it would be possible to start at half past ten and not the usual 11 o'clock."We have a period at the start of the day we could use, but we try to lump it at the end when light is an issue.""I know there's chats around it and there will be no complaints from us if it happens.
Silverwood, who took over the job from Trevor Bayliss when the latter left at the end of the 2019 season, said it had been tough going sitting around throughout most of the second Test.
