What is Innings in Cricket?

One team's turn to bat, ending when ten wickets fall, the overs run out, or the captain declares. Limited-overs matches have one innings per side; Tests have up to two each. The word is both singular and plural in cricket usage.

Example: India posted 350 in their first innings.
