Ending, Deleting, and Unending an Innings

The NV Play Cricket software will automatically prompt you to end an innings when it reaches a natural conclusion. This includes when:

• All batters are dismissed
• The maximum number of overs are bowled (as defined in the Match Type)
• The target, including a Revised Target, is reached

End of Innings prompt

When a valid end-of-innings condition is met, a prompt appears, for example:

If it's not the last innings, the prompt will ask you to confirm the end and begin the Innings Break. If it is the final innings, a second prompt confirms the End of Match.

• Click Yes to end the innings and enter an Innings Break if not the last innings. You can make corrections in Edit mode after the break begins.
• Click No if you need to complete any final edits before ending the innings.

If you click No, when you're ready, go to:

• Scoring > End Innings, or
• Play Control > Play State > End of Innings

Before clicking Save, select the reason for ending the innings:

• All Out
• End of Overs
• Target Reached
  

  

Manually end an innings

Use Play Control > Play State > End of Innings to manually end an innings if:

• There’s a Declaration
• The innings is Forfeited
• Bad weather or time constraints mean play is ended early in a four-innings match. In this case, select Play Called Off. The End Match checkbox is automatically ticked.
  

  

• To create the next innings immediately, tick the Start Next Innings checkbox. In a two-innings match, this option is replaced by Start Super Over. This checkbox becomes active if Super Overs are enabled in the Match Type and the match ends in a tie. Tick it to begin the Super Over innings immediately.
  

  

• Click Save.

Undo an innings

To reverse an innings that was un-ended too early or was created by mistake:

1. Go to Play Control > Undo
2. You’ll see a prompt to:
   • Unend Innings, if the innings was ended too soon
     

     

   • Delete Innings, if the next innings was started by mistake but no balls have been scored
     

     

3. Click Yes to confirm either action. If you delete the innings, you will be asked if you want to return to your initial innings. If you select Yes, go to Play Control > Undo where you will be prompted to un-end the previous innings. Do this by clicking Yes on the the Unend Innings prompt that opens.
