Following a post on Twitter from former England captain Michael Vaughan highlighting the fact only 81 of the prescribed 90 overs were bowled on Friday, fan Alexis Fuller asked several players to refund him 10 per cent of the ticket price.
He said: "I want 10% of my money back. Wouldn't go to football and find it ended after 80mins.
"@AlexHales1 @root66 @vincey14 @jbairstow21 @MoeenAli @chriswoakes @StuartBroad8 @finnysteve @jimmy9 care to refund me 10% of ticket price?"
And Hales, who clubbed an unbeaten half-century at Edgbaston, obliged.
He replied: "OK, DM me your bank details I'll do it now".
The fan later posted a picture that he claimed showed that Hales had put £4.10 into his account.
