In a two innings match, the scores of each team for their two innings are given separately. An example of a score for a two innings match in progress would be: Team A 240 & 300-7d, Team B 225 & 130-4. This indicates that Team A in their first innings scored 240 runs, and Team B made 225 in reply. Team A then made 300 for 7 in their second innings, declaring it closed, and Team B are currently 130 for 4. The exception to this is Australia, where it is conventional to reverse the wickets and runs scored, so that what would be written 300-5 elsewhere in the world is written and said 5-300 in Australia. The notation used for cricket scores (large number, dash, small number) has led to the use of the term ''cricket score'' to describe a very one-sided scoreline in other sports such as Rugby and Football (soccer) .
