# Cricket: A stop-clock rule has been introduced in Tests because of the long-standing problem of slow over-rates. The rule, already in use in white-ball cricket for the past year, forces the fielding side to start an over within a minute after ending the previous one. The International Cricket Council says an electronic clock will be displayed that counts up the seconds from zero to 60. A five-run penalty will be issued after two warnings, while warnings will be reset to zero after the completion of 80 overs.
