Toss calls, confirmed XIs, dew window, run-rate shifts and captain swap advice — written before the lock closes, not after the match is over.
The live desk opens with the toss report and the confirmed XI for each fixture on the day.
As conditions evolve, run-rate notes, dew readings and bowling-matchup shifts are flagged with timestamps.
When a captain swap is allowed in your contest format, we call out the candidate and the reason.
All notes are written by the editorial desk — no auto-generated tips, no fabricated stats.
These are the editorial bottom lines, not a recap. Each one stands alone and links out to the supporting guide.

Toss and XI notes link back to a ground report or a verified feed. No anonymous tips.
Run-rate and dew numbers are observational, not modelled. If we cannot verify, we say so.
We only flag captain-swap candidates when contest rules actually permit swaps in the named format.
