00:00He's played that pretty fine, going to go to the boundary, I'm not sure it's quite where Gilchrist intended, he'll pick up four runs for it.
00:21Prior to him have done that, look at that for a shot from Gilchrist, wondering how he might adapt his approach, I don't think he's going to change at all, he's going to keep playing, he strokes.
00:36Pulled away, there are two men out on the left side but neither is going to get anywhere near that, that's pulled away in front of Square, successive boundaries for Gilchrist.
00:49It's been that sort of day that Australia are now rattling along, scoring rates 4.24, England have got into Australia taking five wickets, they always respond, just when you think that you've got a team on the right like Australia you get Gilchrist at the crease and he's not going to hang about.
01:08There's the short ball, pulled away, four, straight between deep backwards Square and Fineleg.
01:17And again Australia attacking England, 45 this partnership in 51 deliveries, Gilchrist has scored 25.
01:27So both batsmen rattling along and he will take the ball on, if it's short he'll have a go, whether the fielders are up or back, there are two back for the hook shot.
01:38There's also a fly slip or a short third man in position.
01:43And again, hammered that in front of Square, that's where you need a fielder, because he sees it so early, rolls his wrists, Gilchrist's in full flight now, that's his fifth four.
02:01Cracking along, rattling along, partnership 49 off 52, Gilchrist 29 from 33, five fours, field changes, strengthening the leg side.
02:16He's pushing the field back, England just have two slips now.
02:20Yeah there's a Square leg, just in front of Square in fact on the leg side.
02:25Slower ball, no ball, four.
02:31Armisen indicating that it was his slower ball, doesn't matter to Gilchrist.
02:38Gilchrist and Moore, trying to seize the initiative back for Australia.
02:44The stoppage hasn't harmed Gilchrist's concentration, one iota.
03:01Pulled away again, England starting to feed Gilchrist's pull stroke, and he's not disappointing.
03:08He's not bad here, just short of a length and 82 miles an hour from Caddick.
03:14Losing track of the fact that just in this period, England are getting the run around, but it's exhilarating stuff from Australia.
03:24Smashed away, directs the call for four.
03:30This meant Gilchrist is something else.
03:38Adam Gilchrist, they'll take him to 50 and he's been good, he was part of that entertainment yesterday.
03:46He is an exciting player isn't he, he hasn't really been in the best of form in this series.
03:51He certainly looks in good form yesterday and he's continued this morning.
03:55There's a milestone for Adam Gilchrist, two and a half thousand test runs now.
04:04Dawson's out there.
04:08The Australian crowd have enjoyed that, but Nassau's side hasn't.
04:11That's beaten, they've got a point, and that's away for four.
04:21Oh, that's four.
04:23Just in the slot for Gilchrist.
04:27Had it not played, he would have been out.
04:30He's got a good run, he's got a good run, he's got a good run.
04:34He's got a good run, he's got a good run.
04:37He's got a good run, he's got a good run.
04:40Had it not quite got his length right this morning.
04:45Oh, that's picked up beautifully.
04:48It's four.
04:52Clogged off the over.
04:542.79 for eight.
04:56Gilchrist on fire.
05:02It's four.
05:04It's so powerful.
05:06I don't think there's anybody in the world game that hits the ball quite as hard as Gilchrist.
05:11That's just rocketed away.
05:14And England not able to get at Gillespie.
05:17And I think that's because Gilchrist is so good.
05:20And he's sort of width, he doesn't miss out there.
05:23Short and wide, and he's not looking for any sort of single.
05:27Coming to the end of an over.
05:29He's always looking for the boundary.
05:36He could well get it with this shot.
05:39Bizarre shot and what a magnificent way to bring the hundred up.
05:46He's first at the SCG.
05:48His seventh test hundred.
05:50And his second against England.
05:52Made 152 on Ash's debut at Edgbaston in 2001.
05:59And this is just his 39th test.
06:01And this is just his 39th test.
06:31.
