Panel Location and Overview
The Ball by Ball panel (View > Scorecard Data > Ball by Ball) is typically located to the left of the Main Scoreboard panel when using a default Scoring view (View > Scoring - Default or View > Scoring - All Coding).
To show or hide columns on this panel, click the cog icon in the top-right corner of the panel and then choose from the list of columns.
The Ball by Ball panel displays all deliveries over an entire innings with each ball scored on a separate row. Deliveries are displayed in reverse order, with the most recent ball at the top.
Each entry includes:
- Over and ball number.
- The names of the batter and bowler involved.
- Time the delivery was recorded.
- A video link to the delivery (if cameras are used).
A shaded (grey background) row is shown above each completed over, displaying the score at the end of the over and the total runs and extras in that over.

If you are in normal scoring mode, you may need to click the Start Ball or the Edit button on the Play Control panel to return focus to the current ball before continuing scoring.
