00:00and getting the rhythm back in the end swinger beats the lunging ruturaj gaikwad
00:13uh right again just missing that left pad of ruturaj gaikwad good effort deep square
00:23and if dull straight past what would have been a first lip the second boundary of the innings
00:2814 without long and now we have a slip
00:34everybody missed it everyone missed it late to move there matthew wade to be called five wides
00:40uh
00:53what about jason baronoff he knows you spoke about how good he was
00:58with ruturaj gaikwad slip in place for him looked a little tentative this evening
01:04england nicely played but got a field at the deep only be a single
01:13parent off to bowl his third oh beautifully bowled
01:20yeah good captaincy third oh
01:26nicely timed that's where his strengths are down the ground ruturaj gaikwad
01:35wow was a really good shot a lot of timing
01:41wasn't last ball off the power play oh misses it again increase then the stumps
01:53it's a big ground as well my surat raj on strike now
01:57foreign
02:03yeah that's a better line to go to suri outside of stump
02:06then reach for it what innings that was
02:14yeah 12 from that over
02:16what's
02:23feeling is not going to be easy is it close to you
02:30you get giddy you get greedy as a spinner when you know that you've got a bit of turn you've got a
02:34few variations you end up trying on lovely placement all along the ground just had to beat
02:43covers to his left and that's exactly what he did yeah and that's a great example of what
02:49matthew hayden was talking about just hasn't quite got that control of not only his length
02:54but also his line here pays the price likewise a beautiful player spin shimmies down opens up
03:01that cover region just too full and a little bit too much with the class player spins
03:07foreign
03:12should get a couple surya has to run to the danger end
03:16and the 50 partnership the position that you can play differently
03:23and the thing that i love about this partnership is that as skipper he's
03:27gone out there with that intent to take the pressure off his partner
03:31just nudging it and they come back for the second is it slow enough no yeah there's still
03:38time for partnership batting in c20 cricket had india have come out and lost another wicket
03:48wide one throws his hands at it i think what matthew way did didn't quite get it right
04:00what's in the gap should get a couple that was exactly acute awareness of what a bowl is going
04:08to do and i don't think they've probably got enough intel on hardy play it into the gap
04:16and this time he'll get a boundary eight runs coming off that over to go with the wicket of
04:20surya was hit for a four would have been two different lengths completely two different
04:25slower one
04:29but if you don't get your length right you're you're asking for trouble
04:38oh this time it's the right-hander with the raj guy
04:44beating both the points and hundred up
04:49it could be a little rusty as well in richardson sitting on the benches just
04:53came for uh the series killer berendoff was getting the ball to really talk
05:04pulls it and pulls it in the gap
05:08enough time for ritu raj guy got to rock on the back foot and find the gap for himself
05:14he may not be a fluent like you have seen him in the past but today
05:18he's uh waited for the loose deliveries and put them away and that's exactly what he's done
05:22on the vacation too it is begging to be hit half cracker and he made full use of it and this is
05:28what sangha has been doing this evening it's been regular occasion that you get batsmen in
05:34their home conditions they see anything like that and they start yelling christmas
05:39it's beautifully played enough time to go over extra cover
05:44over that's 12 from the over one one three four three after 13 but as of now
05:55they've been gifted a couple of boundary deliveries almost every over
06:00it's good running good cricket david soft hands in the gap for a couple of runs
06:05aditya raj gaikwad again after a slowish start and a watchable start he's picked it up
06:14he's really well on the offside and down the ground doesn't miss out on opportunities when he
06:19uh gets a shot deliveries and vic as well you know what is good about him is that he's very
06:25decisive against the spinners as well as the fast bowlers too and this partnership is uh really
06:33flourishing now 35 of 19 for these two will be worried about what is going to be thrown at them
06:39that's beautifully time magnificent peoples across the crease now that is right in the
06:44bowler's mind so he tries to get wide outside off stump but his hands are so good and at the
06:52moment 100 agree vw he's now striking in 151 he knew his face and roll early up
07:01to get the more dominant batsman on strike now he's taking over
07:07once again he's shown how good he is uh facing his innings
07:11that's a key component for a batter
07:19another wide pressure telling on the young man but again as soon so it's basic disciplines
07:27that's a cracking shot races to the boundary and his fourth t20i 50 for rituraj gaikwad back
07:37to back half centuries for the young man where an inexperienced bowlers under pressure this is
07:43what happens and when he's bowling with the 5-4 field he's rather confused as to what lines he's
07:48got to ball and that's exactly what is happening here he's been bowling on both sides of the
07:53wicket and he's some leaking runs he's in hardy yeah the length is there again we mentioned
08:00sanga just there was free hits that's a free hit one thing you don't get away with on
08:06these slow wickets these clay wickets not a lot of grass not skipping through
08:13a much better length especially if you're bowling pace off it's not one of those pitches where you
08:19pitch it kind of short with a pace off because it's going to skip through any which way it sits
08:24up nicely to be hit another very good innings from rituraj back but
08:29a different kind of an innings as compared to the last one
08:35appreciated by his teammates his captain rightly so he was having a strike rate of around 100 when
08:42he was in the 20s now he's upped it to 157 that's terrific progress and uh he knows when to
08:50accelerate really well definitely has shifted gears sanga i won't find the gap rituraj
09:03again i think the dimension of this ground
09:07and because of that he's gone a bit on the shorter side
09:14goes full up he swept it has it has he swept it fine enough yes he has that's another boundary
09:24once again straying onto the pass that's because he's bowling quicker through there
09:28which has not given the opportunity to give him revolutions there and that's the reason why
09:36great part is able to pull it away easily
09:41he's much more front of the hand he's actually one thing else he hasn't been really performing
09:46this evening one thing that has done well is the balls come out of the hand nicely
09:51that's good revolutions towards the first slip down the ground across and the maximum oh look out
09:59look out guy caught is on a roll
10:02oh
10:04there you go the infield of course he's playing with the turn
10:08and the confidence with which he's hit on the back speed was absolutely fabulous
10:13shot of the day for me he's highest scoring t20 eyes now rituraj guy quad
10:20what a shot with the toughest in the game going inside out
10:24condition different situation and a different rituraj guy quad
10:29nathan ellis start off starts off with a slow one
10:37well he's been on song again started steady away another beautiful shot to get off the mark
10:43down the ground classical pull shots and obviously anything that's wide he loves to
10:48pounce on that it's been really severe and young sun goes just learning his craft at this level
10:55and he's fell into the trap of going a little fold and a little walk
11:03that's as uh 360 as you can get for an orthodox battle like rituraj
11:08i was just making the point of it through
11:12foreign
11:17it's a good oval
11:20five runs from it 148 for three after 16
11:24and the best bowler on view so far jason bandoff at his last
11:31yeah he's not got any timing on it and that allows him the second
11:35and i think we'll see
11:43another slower one
11:47it's already in this set
11:52quicker one this time
11:55i also had the option of storing the support beautifully
11:58it's been an excellent over so far just six of it
12:01and finishes it off in style yorker wanted the second maxwell is quick
12:10it's an excellent spell comes to an end from berend off one for 12 or four it's 155 for three
12:20and this is the time where matthew wade makes a decision and he's gone for hardy to bowl the 18th
12:26over shot third shot fine but a man had a very fine square leg deep square leg deep midwicket and
12:35a long on on the onside and he goes straight face on and it pays the price
12:46beautifully timed that's his strength down the ground
12:49even the last game the feature of his batting was all those shots down town
13:02it's been called the white and it's been reviewed
13:07well that's what i thought i thought it's only done in the ipa
13:11short and that's been pumped over midwicket
13:16and matthew wade is still in a bit of a ipl hangover there
13:22for a full first up pace off this time he goes into the track pace off great timing from guy quad
13:30just hammers that over deep midwicket gets into such a powerful position with that back foot
13:36gets into such a powerful position with that back foot where does he go now aaron hardy
13:47i'm just wondering after that really good last over
13:51would you have gone to someone else maybe ellis or richardson
13:56go straight again and there's no chance for tim david at long on
14:10under enormous pressure here aaron hardy six wide six four lots of flailing of hands he doesn't
14:18know which field to keep and what to bowl right now yeah and it's a tough ask for the young man
14:24because guy quad is well set he's reaped the rewards of that partnership with sky early on
14:31he laid the foundation and now he's expanding his game
14:36hardy's gone the defensive option with the yorker but he's missed
14:40and boy quad's been older and the field here is changing as we see
14:44square leg coming up so he's gonna have to go wide
14:55i did read that exactly what harry was planning to do
15:01but this over he needed a big one he got it so fast 17 already six wide six and then the boundary
15:1215 in the previous over that he bowled
15:14it
15:17oh what's even further in and puts it over long leg for a six
15:24a well-deserved hundred just 49 balls at the moment
15:30he was all over hardy's plan trying to take him wide
15:34shoveled across his crease got into position beautifully
15:37and just swept it over that deep square leg boundary for six
15:41it's gonna be three with no control straight
15:45he swept him again great effort in the deep josh inglis does the tidying up 25 runs of the over
15:56and has he done it beautifully
16:00yeah it's perfect tempo batting and that's what the batsman when they have the chance
16:05cricketing shots did innovate in the last over
16:20yeah four sixes from rick rogers but that's got to be the shot of the day at least for me
16:25back to everything most of them with the full face of the bat
16:30that one was manufactured attracted from way outside off stump
16:45slow bouncer 96 of 51 he's waiting for his strike here not that it should matter because
16:52you're thinking about getting as many runs as possible for india at this moment till akwarma
16:5822 of 20 just being the senior partner having a quick word with him
17:08it's a difficult thing for tillak isn't it what you do now you take a single and
17:12get ritu raj on strike or you just try and keep hitting
17:22gets it over the keeper's head doesn't have enough legs that
17:26imagine had this been a an ipl game and csk was featuring until akwarma would have been playing
17:31they would have been clamoring for ms donis anybody going to ask for rinku singh now
17:43willing to manufacture one there almost i've got a boundary of it
17:48oh
17:54yeah sometimes in a partnership like this there are days when you can't get going
18:04found the gap he has found the gap finally just the right place for him to play that shot
18:13he found the gap to perfection
18:18and i dare say with one ball left in this set of nathan ellis black marble will be looking for
18:23another one of these so that guy caught that strike in the last set the swivel pulls that
18:32placed it beautifully in front of square leg
18:36once again that length of that slower one so key
18:40and if it's slightly short all these batters have enough time to put it away
18:45should be called a boundary
18:51and runs 10 runs one delivery left
19:02goes over the offside doesn't find the fielder slightly slow to get take off the blocks there
19:09two runs he gets of the last ball 192 for three
19:18there he is he will be bowling the 20th over which will be his first
19:25against the right hander now what a way to get to your maiden t20 international hundred
19:31the first by an indian against australia
19:34what a moment for the young man he got a diamond duck in the first game advisor
19:47but he's come back strongly showed a lot of character the well-made 50 in the second t20
19:52international of kerala and now the first indian to get 100 against australia
19:58this one goes slow a bit of a fade to that shot a six and a four maxwell bowling his first
20:10for the third time in a row india has got 200 plus now
20:17a little surprise with this decision of matthew wade
20:20maxwell to bowl his first and that to the 20th oh it just gets worse for maxwell
20:26that's a no ball free hit christmas come early
20:36here we were wondering where maxwell was but not for the 20th over
20:43first no ball of the game there is the point of contact the first point of contact
20:51and the free hit
20:57what a way to get the 100 what a way the 100 absolutely brilliant
21:09the way he speaks this innings is timed to perfection
21:13he's playing a very different role initially when he was batting with the sean kishan
21:19surya once down the gears throughout the innings versus both pate and spin
21:28he's been called away nobody's happy here
21:32maxwell and the wicked keeper matthew we're not happy at all
21:38well that's fine but what was matthew we're doing he he's not standing up to the stumps
21:42slow one and that's been dumped over long gone
21:51i seriously don't understand this it's just a free hit for a spinner the keeper's not standing
21:58up to the stumps
21:59i seriously don't understand this it's just a free hit for a spinner the keeper's not standing
22:05up to the stumps sashes down the ground or down the pitch it's a different ball
22:13it was more of a leg spin than anything else another short one
22:19so far with one delivery left still trying to figure out what australia the skipper with
22:36kane richardson having one over thinking the aussies want to try and chase down 220 and test
22:43themselves obviously they didn't want to chase 200 they thought nah let's test ourselves tonight
22:48give him an extra 20 swung away and missed it great effort that it was swept
22:58that too will go for a boundary
