What TV channel is it on?

Coverage starts on Sky Sports Main Event from 2.30pm and on BBC 2 at the same time.

What about streaming?

Sky customers can watch on the Sky Go app, while BBC viewers can watch on the iPlayer service.

What are the rules?

The Hundred is cricket, but not as you’ve seen it before. Each team’s batting innings will last 100 balls and whoever scores the most runs, wins the match.

But rather than a bowler delivering a traditional six-ball over, the fielding side will change ends after 10 balls. Each bowler can deliver either five or 10 consecutive deliveries. The captain of each team will decide on that. Each bowler can deliver a maximum of 20 balls per game.

The Hundred will be played at a frenetic, quick tempo and each match will last two and a half hours. Both bowling sides get a strategic timeout of up to two and a half minutes and in a new development, the coach can discuss tactics with their players mid game.

Each batting team will have a 25-ball powerplay when only two fielders from the bowling side will be allowed outside the 30-yard circle.
