First-innings scores by format

FormatMatchesAverage, all matchesAverage, last six seasons
T2017166 167 (16)
ODI17257 253 (3)

In T20, recent first innings here average 167, close to the long-run figure.

Our T20 projections here use a baseline of 175: the last four T20I first innings here were 236, 187, 225 and 180, all above the long-run figure, but earlier ones included 153 and 91, so we use a cautious 175 rather than the recent average.
