* ''Bowls'': There is a group of people playing lawn bowls outside as hedges in the shape of the Channel 4 logo parts fly around.

This ident was often used to introduce live cricket coverage live tests and highlights. There is also a shorter version of this ident, which was only shown before a ''Deal or No Deal'' episode aired on 21 September 2009. | * ''Bowls'': There is a group of people playing lawn bowls outside as hedges in the shape of the Channel 4 logo parts fly around.
