It’s 16 plus either an hour or 15 overs whichever is longer.

But they can come off for bad light.

Stokes looking very stiff fielding off his own bowling there.

You sure? Hussain just said 15 overs and 2 balls? Nothing about an hour on top? Either way the first innings declaration looks to be justified

He must be tempted to take the new ball, and get Broad and Anderson on.

After the drinks break could be a good time.

The last hour is an hour or 15 overs, whichever is longest. That's where it's at, bar umpires stopping it.
