England vs Pakistan: Hosts' coach Chris Silverwood bats for early start time to tackle 'bad light' issues

Firstpost  

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. 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. “We’re all on the ground, so it wouldn’t be very difficult to make it happen.” 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. “To have both sides — to have everyone, really— in the bubble sat around was hard work at times,” said the 45-year-old former England pace bowler.
