Match night: what to watch beside the total
With your real score app open, these four checks explain most “momentum swings” before the headline number catches up. No stats here—just where to point your eyes. Deeper phase notes: live hub · captain watch.

Boundaries drying up while the rate looks fine usually means pressure is building; one release over can flip the feel of the chase.
Phase handoffs

Captain trust signals
Who gets a second over after a bad one, who is hidden from a match-up, and when the keeper shifts field without a wicket—often early warnings of the next swing.
