Test Match Special may continue until 6.25 pm, according to whether the extra half-hour of play is called for. If play finishes before this time, Radio 3 will broadcast music programmes from any time after 5.40 pm. On days when it is known at close of play the day before that there will be no play, normal Radio 3 programmes will be broadcast. On days when play finishes early or is abandoned at any time after it has begun, the normal Radio 3 music programmes will be resumed approximately one hour after play has ceased.
