Neil Harman saying that Delic is cramping in his left thigh. Hopefully George can take advantage. Needs to hold here though.

from bbc

Times correspondent Neil Harman on Twitter: "Morgan missed a forehand sitter on MP at 5-3. Now 5-5. The wind in Delic's sails now I fear."

Apparently th long pause at 15-30 was while Delic got more treatment for cramp

One rule I really dont like though.

at 15-30 Delic was given a 1 point penalty for delaying the game as he went into full body cramp. I know if they changed it, youd get the odd player playing silly games, but it does seem harsh at the end of a long match like that to charge someone a point to bring up mp

Especially at junior level. According to Neil Harman, his trainer jumped the fence to help him, got shooed off by the umpire, and then had a point deducted. Leaves a slightly bitter taste after what is an excellent win
