What is the earliest times the captains can agree a draw assuming Sussex dont get bowled out quickly. It seems pointless going to close if we are still in bat.
Congratulations on getting towards that 65,000 post, just by asking a dreary-pointless question

There is a point. Never bothered to know it precisely as it is always a bit pointless by that stage. They essentially have to keep playing out most of the day but usually ends up finishing about 40 minutes to an hour early... the team batting usually declares and that helps by ten minutes...Actually, it's not such a daft question. Is there actually a point after which the captains can agree to call it a day - but not before - laid down in the regulations? I imagine if they both decided they'd got something better to be doing tomorrow and called it a day now there'd be something of a furore - but at what point, if say, Sussex are still batting, can it be called off as a draw by mutual consent?

So - forgetting about the challenging declaration scenario - they couldn't just agree to pack it in any time before tea then?There is....some when after tea.....but also you might have the two captains earlier in the day somehow contriving the prospect of a result

Nope. Official law states :
12.1.2.1If both captains (the batsmen at the wicket may act for their captain) accept that there is no prospect of either side achieving a victory, they may agree to finish the match after the time for the commencement of the last hour has been reached.
