What are the scorers' duties under the Laws?

Under Law 3 of the MCC Laws of Cricket (2017 Code, 4th Edition 2026):

• Two scorers: two scorers are appointed to record all runs scored, all wickets taken and, where appropriate, the number of overs bowled (3.1).
• Check against each other: the scorers must frequently check that their records agree (3.2).
• Agree with the umpires: they agree with the umpires the runs scored, the wickets that have fallen and, where appropriate, the overs bowled, at least at every interval other than a drinks interval, and at the conclusion of the match (3.2 and 2.15).
• Follow signals: they accept all instructions and signals from the umpires and immediately acknowledge each separate signal (3.3).
• Final result: once the umpires have agreed the scores with the scorers at the end of the match, the result cannot be changed (16.10).
