Subject: RE: BS: Pakistan forfeit test match
And here are the rules related to the result of the match.
Umpires awarding a match
(a) A match shall be lost by a side which
either (i) concedes defeat
or (ii) in the opinion of the umpires refuses to play
and the umpires shall award the match to the other side.
(b) If an umpire considers that an action by any player or players might constitute
a refusal by either side to play then the umpires together shall ascertain the cause
of the action. If they then decide together that this action does constitute a refusal
to play by one side, they shall so inform the captain of that side. If the captain
persists in the action the umpires shall award the match in accordance with (a)(ii)
above.
(c) If action as in (b) above takes place after play has started and does not
constitute a refusal to play
(i) playing time lost shall be counted from the start of the action until play
recommences, subject to Law 15.5 (Changing agreed times for
intervals).
(ii) the time for close of play on that day shall be extended by this length
of time, subject to Law 3.9 (Suspension of play for adverse conditions
of ground, weather or light).
(iii) if applicable, no overs shall be deducted during the last hour of the
match solely on account of this time.
