Explanation

In Test cricket, the Laws mandate that a minimum of 20 overs be bowled in the final session on the last day, unless the innings ends earlier. This rule ensures sufficient time for a result and prevents teams from slowing down play intentionally. The 20-over minimum has been a standard requirement in professional Test cricket.
