00:00First runs, could well be four. Look at that timing. He's been in great form, Rohit Sharma, during the one days. He's going to continue on here.
00:19It's up in the air. Fine legs under it. He's got not enough room. At six. It's all the way.
00:26Kane Richardson's down there. I just wonder if he'd stayed right on the rope. He couldn't have at least saved the boundary.
00:37Yeah, but even from here it looked like it was going to go about two thirds of the way. How did this carry for six? It's a genuine top edge.
00:45He's come in a touch thinking, I've got to come in and then he goes, oh no, hang on, I'm really close to the rope.
00:53That's a sublime shot. He's a class player, this guy, Rohit Sharma. That's what we saw a lot of during the run days.
01:06Down there again, the fine leg and this time he doesn't get there. Richardson's had two half chances down there.
01:15Cameron Boyce, this is, running backwards, not easy and he doesn't get it either.
01:24It's probably the third chance for Rohit Sharma. I mentioned he's in great form. The Aussies have had three opportunities to get rid of him.
01:32Yeah, the Aussies have looked really rattled in the field early in this match. It's a tough catch for Cameron Boyce.
01:41He ran back well but then twisted, turned, couldn't quite get it right. Indian crowd goes bananas.
01:49Now he chips away on the onside, that'll be four. Just rubbing a little bit of salt into those wounds.
01:55Doesn't have to be Cole, he denied it, Sharma.
02:01And he's got him this time, straight to Faulkner. Shane Watson into the attack and removes the dangerous Sharma.
02:11Faulkner still looked cranky from his over. His one over went for nine, it's not that bad and he was up against some remarkable stroke play with a drop catch.
02:21Watson, first ball, miss hit. Can't get under it well enough and Faulkner takes the catch.
02:30That brings Cole to the crease and Sharma gone for 31 from 20.
02:40Oh, that'll do, that's a beauty. Sharma finally, it meets the middle of the bat. Did he get a piece of that?
02:57Down the ground, go down the ground. At pace, one bounce four.
03:03They've gone after Jimmy Faulkner right from the start of this tour, these Indian batsmen.
03:07The one day series, they wanted a piece of him and now in the shorter form, it doesn't matter whether it's come out of the back of the hand or the seams sitting up, they have gone hard after him.
03:16This pitch is an absolute corker, the way he can thrash through the line, that is a perfect straight bat.
03:24In the air, down the ground.
03:34I don't know what to say.
03:37No, either does Faulkner because there's two great deliveries this over, the first one that got shoveled over the batsman's left shoulder and then this was spot on.
03:46A wide Yorker, just turned into a full toss.
03:52Has he got enough on it? Yes, he has.
04:04Cruel, cruel game.
04:13I don't reckon Nathan Lyon would have practised too many, bowling him a free ball, a free hit.
04:19Because you wouldn't expect it as an off spinner, you wouldn't expect to bowl a front foot no ball, nor a head high fully, which he bowled two balls ago.
04:27But he probably should have a Yorker.
04:29Oh, that's nicely hit, that'll be all the way.
04:33Maxwell changing the angle around the wicket, didn't work.
04:46This is what Royal Charm has been doing brilliantly, a slow start, I think his first eight balls were runless.
04:51Pretty ordinary attempt to catch there, mind you he had a few obstacles to deal with.
04:55Nice and fine, and it's running away quick too, that's 450.
05:01Royal Charm is having some sort of summer in Australia.
05:04Yeah, I like this innings because he got off to a sluggish start, it was eight or nine balls before he got off the mark.
05:10And then he just trusted himself, while there were swings and misses, all of a sudden he made contact with one that went to the boundary and he hasn't stopped.
05:1851 from 37.
05:21Last ball of that Watson over, and Coley slips, Sharma hasn't seen the slip.
05:26The throw comes in and Sharma's got to go.
05:30So a full toss, handled under the pads of Coley, brings about a dismissal.
05:35And it's so noisy out there, if there was a call he wouldn't have heard it, I don't reckon.
05:39Royal Charm was just jogging back, thinking there's another ball.
05:42There's the shot, let's keep an eye on Coley left of screen.
05:45A little stumble, that's all it was.
05:47Maybe a no, he put his hands up, but obviously Sharma didn't hear that.
05:51And a simple run out, effected by Matthew Wade.
05:54And the end of Sharma, a terrific inning, 60 from 47.
05:57Two for 142.
05:59That's nicely played, that'll be four, don't run for that one.
06:02And that's the exact thing you can do against Pace, if it's in the slot.
06:07Get through it and it'll race away.
06:09Field up early over is genuine heart volley.
06:13See, that's slot one.
06:15And that's slot two.
06:16And that's slot three.
06:17And that's slot four.
06:18And that's slot five.
06:19And that's slot six.
06:20And that's slot seven.
06:21And that's slot eight.
06:22And that's slot nine.
06:23And that's slot 10.
06:24And that's slot 11.
06:25And that's slot 12.
06:26And that's slot 13.
06:27And that's slot 14.
06:28And that's slot 15.
06:29And that's slot 16.
06:30And that's slot 17.
06:31And that's slot 18.
06:32And that's slot 19.
06:33And that's slot 20.
06:34And that's slot 21.
06:35See, that's where he likes to go.
06:37He made it go there.
06:39He shaped it that way by using his feet.
06:45That's so good.
06:46Just so good from Sharma.
06:49And when they're going it, they make it look easy.
06:56Great timing.
06:58You see, you don't have to bludgeon it.
07:00You can make it look beautiful too.
07:03The Indians quite often target the bowler on the first or second ball.
07:07Try and get a boundary early in the innings.
07:09It puts the bowler under enormous pressure.
07:11And releases almost the pressure on the batsman.
07:18Full toss.
07:19Have some of that.
07:21That's gone a mile.
07:25Well, that didn't look like a tired shot.
07:27Mind you, it was a big fully and he just had to help it on its way.
07:31He's gone to the long boundary.
07:33And it's gone into the crowd.
07:35That's how long it was.
07:37It's a 107 metre help.
07:41Couldn't believe it.
07:42His eyes lit up.
07:43What's he giving me here?
07:45It's a thigh-high full toss.
07:51Belton.
07:53Into the gap four.
07:59Goes to 50.
08:01He played 99 in the One Day International here eight days ago.
08:04Loves the SCG.
08:05Well played, well done.
08:10He's loving batting at the moment.
08:12Both Coley and Sharma have come to Australia
08:14and just gelled instantly with the pitchers here.
08:17They're loving the pace.
08:18If they're slightly slower, it doesn't matter.
08:19Because that's like India.
08:22And if they're quicker, they can use that pace.
08:26Oh, that's out.
08:27Good work.
08:28Boyce has been fantastic.
08:32Sharma's got to go.
08:33The only way Australia can win this game is to take Wickedson.
08:38Well, get a copy of this.
08:40How do you do it?
08:41How do you get Rohit Sharma out?
08:43Get him in his crease going,
08:44oh no, I thought his front foot withdrew a touch,
