In cricket, a tie occurs when the match is concluded with each team having scored exactly the same number of runs and the side batting last having completed its innings.
[1] The earliest known instance of a tie is in a single wicket "threes" match at Lamb's Conduit Field on Wednesday, 1 September 1736.
[5] A tie was previously sometimes declared where the scores were level when scheduled play ended, but the side batting last still had wickets in hand.
