Rules Summary
In a 5-day Test match, a team can enforce the follow-on if they lead by at least 200 runs after the first innings.
The follow-on decision allows the team with the lead to make the opposition bat again immediately instead of batting their own second innings.
This calculator provides follow-on information based on official cricket rules. For the most current rules, always refer to the ICC or relevant cricket board regulations.
