Enter captio — Bowling 98 overs in a day will be a challenge

There will be a minimum of 98 overs bowled in a day in 4-day Test. In a day and age when teams struggle to bowl 90 overs in a day, be it due to weather conditions, bad light stopping play, slow over rates, it will be interesting to see how 98 overs will be bowled in a day.

If an extra half hour is needed to even complete 90 overs, it is hard to imagine 98 being completed on a regular basis.
