Score Menu

Score toolbar

When a match is open, through the score menu you can select the innings you wish to view or score via the drop down box. Note: During a two innings per side match, it is assumed that each side has an innings in turn, however if the follow-on is enforced this is not the case. The score toolbar can be used to switch the last two innings, thus enforcing a follow-on, after the completion of the first two innings. To do this simply select the team to continue batting from the drop-down list in the match toolbar. A prompt to confirm that the follow-on is being enforced will be shown.

Other options on the score toolbar are as follows:

• Score window - Show the 'ball-by-ball' scoring window to allow multiple event entries (e.g. run out off a no ball) and enter fielding data.
• One click scoreboard - Scoreboard display with one-click entry of most common ball events
   
• Runs - Enter runs scored by the batsmen, or apply penalty runs
• Wides, Byes, Leg byes, No balls - Enter extras conceded by the fielding side

• Retires - select this when a batsman retires or is absent
• End Innings - select how the innings ended, such as declared etc
