What you will see here on match days

When a match is in progress, this page becomes the match centre for that game, with the live game at the top. The centre is not a live feed yet, so the list below describes what it will show, in the order most fans check it.

  • Live score: the two teams, the total, wickets lost and overs bowled.
  • Run rate and required rate: the current rate, plus the required rate when a side is chasing.
  • Batters at the crease: runs and balls faced, with fours and sixes counted. The strike rate is shown alongside.
  • Current bowler: overs and maidens, plus runs conceded and wickets. The economy rate is shown alongside.
  • Partnerships and fall of wickets: who is together, and the order in which wickets fell.
  • Recent overs: a compact strip showing dots, boundaries and wickets in the last overs.
  • Ball-by-ball commentary: a short written account of every delivery.
  • Full scorecards: complete batting and bowling tables for both innings.
  • Result and points table: the result, the player of the match, and the updated standings.

This page carries text scores, not live video. For broadcast options, see the where-to-watch guide.
