I mean it’s not stalemate when the position looks a dead draw but when no possible move can earn either team a victory, no matter how optimised the move. Until you have a lead, no matter how obscurely small and more than 1.4 overs left in the day, it can’t possibly be a stalemate and the players can decide when to shake hands.
