ICC changes interval rule after rain row June 20, 2008 19:15 IST The International Cricket Council has given umpires power to reduce the length of intervals between innings following the no-result between England [Images] and New Zealand [Images] on Wednesday. The second one-dayer between England and New Zealand ended without a result after the rain-affected match was abandoned one over short of getting a result. "Where the innings of the side batting first is delayed or interrupted, the umpires will reduce the length of the interval," the ICC [Images] said in a statement. On Wednesday, there was a 30-minute interval between the innings even though much of the day's play had been washed out.
