A bowler may bowl five or ten consecutive deliveries as the captain deems fit from the same end or from alternate ends. The ECB stated that each bowler would bowl a maximum of 20 balls per game.

At the end of every five balls, the umpire will call a ‘five’ instead of an ‘over’ and pick up a white card. This is to help clearly distinguish the two five-ball pieces for onlookers, to avoid any confusion if a bowler bowls ten consecutive balls from the same end.
