Follow-on
Follow-on is a term (noun and verb) used in the sport of cricket. It describes the situation where a team has two consecutive innings. Cricket matches are played over either one or two innings. The 'follow-on' is only used in games played over two innings. In these games the teams take turns in batting. Team A has its first innings followed by Team B. Then Team A has its second innings, and unless Team B has already scored more runs than Team A, Team B has its second innings. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

In its second innings, Team B is then said to be 'following-on'. This rule is governed by Law 13 of the Laws of cricket. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
