They're scrabbling to fit 5 tests into 6 weeks. It could have started today (as that would have given the required 3 clear days after the previous test) but I guess they're trying out a Saturday start.
Aug 1-5 = 1st test
3 day break (6/7/8th)
Aug 9-13 = 2nd test
4 day break (14/15/16/17th)
Aug 18-22 (Sat start, finish on a Wednesday) = 3rd test
Min 3 day break would mean starting next one on a Sunday, even more odd, so 7 day break
Aug 30-3 Sep (back to Thursday start) = 4th test
3 day break (4/5/6th)
Sep 7-11 (Friday start) = 5th test
2nd test was under 180 overs in total. If that happens again (it won't) then it could be done within two days anyway.
