Because of this, it is a rule that no less than 90 overs should be bowled in a single day of a test match. These can last for multiple days in some cases if a team is successful in batting for extended periods of time. In test matches, each team has two innings. In 20/20, as the name would suggest, each team gets the opportunity to bowl 20 overs each. In an ODI, each team gets the opportunity to bowl 50 overs each. In ODI and Twenty20 cricket, the match lasts a set amount of overs delivered by each team. A delivery is counted every time a bowler bowls the ball legally to a batsperson. Matches are instead determined in length by the amount of deliveries, overs and innings. There is no official clock for any match of cricket. Only two batspeople are on the field at any one time for the batting team. Fielding players can play multiple positions. When a team is fielding, all 11 players for a team will be on the field. There are 11 players on each team during a cricket match. The infield and the boundary, which signifies the end of the outfield, are marked by rope and contribute to different rules based on the level. The infield and outfield vary more in size depending on the ground and the level of play. It also signifies the area where a batsperson must have part of their bat or body down to avoid being run out or stumped.
The popping creases are four feet in front of the bowling creases and are marked so that a bowler knows where they can't cross during a delivery. The bowling creases are at either end of the pitch and are on the same plane as the stumps. There are three lines that make up a simple box at either end of the pitch.
Rolled clay is used in the professional game to allow for natural changes to the pitch due to things like weather throughout a match. The pitch is a rectangular section of the ground that is 22 yards in length and 10 ft in width. The field is split into three main parts: the pitch, the infield and the outfield. For any type of cricket, the field is oval shaped.
