With effect from Premier League 2016, if a league match in public green cannot finish within four hours, the match will stop immediately (even it is in the middle of an end) and postpone.
If the subsequent booking is another league match, both sides can finish the current end. The match will stop and postpone afterwards.
During the extended period, if the unfinished end is burnt, the match will stop immediately and postpone. The burnt end will be replayed anew in the postponed match.
This practice was endorsed by Council of Management on 7 March 2016.
