00:00oh beauty
00:06yes in the air for a little bit but crisply struck and straight down the ground for four
00:13to bring up a hundred it was i don't know if this was a change up by magill
00:18maybe he took a little bit of pace off it but if it is felt like he got there too early
00:23so in order to make sure he still got over it and didn't hit it airborne for too long
00:27he just let go of the bottom hand and just guarded it with the top hand
00:37oh shot beautiful shot helped on its way and it beat sword finally gone for four
00:48there he goes again use of the feet this time and down the ground for four
00:58so that's an excellent shot good shot selection as well it really is such a good shot
01:12oh that's not a bad shot was that inside neck up goes the finger maybe the village has raised
01:18that bat a little bit and straight away he said i'm on this to go upstairs to steve
01:21steve davis to have a look at i don't think he's concerned about it whether it's pitched in line
01:25i think he may feel that he's got inside edge on that one i think it's a pretty good shot pretty
01:31good call by the umpire it looked like he was adjacent and just is chatting there with hashimama
01:37he seems to think that he's got contact on the inside edge of the bat i feel he's hit the stumps
01:43i mean he just pads should i say not the stumps there we go have a look that one pitches in line
01:52straightens goes on to hit the pad i think it's going on to hit middle stump has he got
01:58the inside edge in it yes picks up his bat quickly yes there's a nick definite nick
02:04i saw a deflection with that first replay
02:08hot spot is not showing us too much but i definitely saw a deflection with that first replay
02:13uh
02:27tight this will be close
02:34yes
02:38let's go upstairs and have a look
02:42direct hits can be tricky even though ab de villiers is lightning fast but
02:47his heart must be pounding at this stage good job done picked it up with both hands
02:55nasir jamshed with a flat return ab de villiers was looking at nasir jamshed and it was
03:03a direct hit has he made his ground i think he has
03:10that's a flick runs four of them
03:15just a feather touch from ab de villiers 100 partnership between armland de villiers
03:21south africa marching on 201 for three
03:24they've been very positive in the way they've gone about batting in the second innings
03:36this is the fifth 100 run partnership between these two
03:41and ab de villiers 102 and 141 balls it's been a pleasure to watch
03:54ab de villiers is away with a single down to fine leg in south africa they're up and running
04:06there's a good delivery one just going across the right hander
04:11there's a feeling south african camp that the morning is when the ball is most active off the
04:18pitch it's another good example just going across ab de villiers
04:31four no third man easy pickings
04:37this delivery just a little bit over pitched by khan he's got it up there trying to get the
04:41village to drive which he has done just opens the face to touch as the ball makes contact with the
04:50bat and ends up going behind point maybe the village probably would have been looking to hit
04:54that through square cover but it's gone behind point it's picked up a boundary first one for
04:59south africa today the bowler feels a little bit hard dunbar yeah i agree with you i mean
05:09if it's a new ball in the morning session that's probably where it's going to misbehave the most
05:18that's why south africa probably conscious of trying to get the score that they want
05:22450 or 500 whatever it may be and then get out so they get a good
05:28opportunity to bowl here although we get it still fresh this morning
05:40so
05:46just went through a brief moment about four or five months ago where people were starting to
05:52question whether the wicket keeping was affecting his batting and that he wasn't the same player
05:58that everyone had come to know and he was so expansive and wonderful to watch he was entertaining
06:03in the last few months we've seen ab de villiers accumulate plenty of runs he's 70 not out now
06:10and his keeping has been good as well no issues there
06:17there is protection the placement is good again so they get through for two
06:23mike has been interviewed dale stain before the start of play and
06:27tale was saying that he felt that it all a lot depends on how they uh they go about their
06:34scoring this morning but ideally that they'd like to have a little bowl before lunch but
06:38maybe they would only have a bowl after lunch and i think that
06:41that that would be if both these batsmen were close to a hundred but not quite there as yet
06:49but there's too much time and the way they're scoring how freely they're scoring i can't see
06:52that to be the case wow so cheeky
07:04cheeky yeah in the position they're in looking to get quick runs in many ways it becomes a one
07:10day game and that's a one day shot there by abd villiers there are two slips in it in fact one
07:15slip in a gully in place no one down a third man so he knows with the angle that's an eight cons
07:20bowling he gives him a bit of width it's going to be going across him as long as he keeps this ball
07:26down and places it well he'll pick himself up a boundary lovely touch
07:35this ball like it just strengthened the offside field he had taken out a slip and put him into
07:39the into an extra cover position which meant that there was a middle for an extra cover and a very
07:46straight cover and a point on the boundary
07:54no ball call to villiers does get across onto the offside
07:57works it through midwicket hasn't quite timed it
08:06as we mentioned we might see a bit of it is walsall cross outside of stump
08:11this is officially the best time in the world to back and test cricket
08:16it's only happened on a couple occasions with myself when your team's in a dominant position
08:21you need quick runs you can really show off all your skills i've seen him come down the wicket
08:26run the ball down to third man walk across now and flick it through to the leg side
08:32and if you get out oh well you got 79 anyway
08:35that is a magnificent shot that is very classy from ab to villiers he's toying
08:39with that sweep for a backward square on the offside wins this time
08:47around the wicket angle is being persisted with by say dashman and look at the response he
08:52picks the ball away from the stumps in fact it was a late stump line
08:56and uh well it was magnificently timed and placement was superb as well
09:02timed and placement was superb as well because he had to beat the man at deep point which he did
09:09just a mere reverse flick and the ball flew across to the boundary in no time
09:20now that was a chance i think or almost did it carry
09:23certainly hit pretty well by ab to villiers man short in the covers
09:27how about josh it is
09:38it's got an edge on that one
09:42interesting finish to the over 255 for three
09:48he's looking to attack all the time nasa jamshed probably missed a chance it was a tough one
09:53it went hard it went flat it went low and uh did he get to the ball on the bounce i think
10:06a bit of reverse swing that time for mobile goal let's treat it straight down the ground
10:10beautiful shot great control from ab to villiers
10:16nice and full was omar gul masking the ball expecting a little bit of reverse swing and
10:20look at the response from ab to villiers a glorious straight drive on top of his game here ab
10:28back and across and waiting for that length the yorker length and drilled it straight back for four
10:36challenging ball and uh well he met the challenge gloriously here
10:51he's got that away brilliant from ab to villiers
11:09absolutely magnificent what an entertainer his 15th to test hundred
11:20275 for three
