00:45in his innings this time it's early really early and it's the same kind of response from works it's
00:51a smile it's a shake of the head sedately dad there's a full toss which might surprise a few
01:02people how do bowlers cope with that when you're at the top of your mark and you're ready and the

04:51cut hard short wide and put away
04:58and you just feel his inner rhythm now
05:05well there's no doubting that one right from the middle
05:12right from the moment it hit the middle of the bat it was going all the way for six
05:19and again this time flatter but the same result

11:06very good in the follow through there Chris Wokes he picks up his first
11:13he's got two in now though
11:16very nice from Jadeja
11:18it's a fast outfield
11:20that's a sweet boundary for Jadeja
11:24edged and taken by Joe Root at first slip
11:33nicely done from Josh Tong
11:35Fuller with a little bit of movement
11:37Joe Root is now suggesting that that ball might have wobbled and swung away from him
11:42well look at that on the replay
11:43who knows
11:45who knows
11:46they might be trying to kick Boomer off strike in case he gets hit on the hand
11:49well Siraj has been hit on the hand
11:51it's been taken down the leg side by wicketkeeper Smith
11:55Siraj looks at his hand
11:57that hurt

12:26Duckett diving forward
12:28he may have got his fingers under that
12:30goes for the big shot
12:35not many have seen it
12:37doesn't really matter
12:38because it's gone all the way
12:40change of plan from Jadeja
12:42yes this was angled into him
12:44and he got a lot of bat on this
12:49on the pull this time
12:51and there you go
12:52six followed by a four
12:54Jadeja now on the charge

13:30I wanna look at this again because Krawley hit this so sweetly
13:36a bit of fielding
13:39well he gets this one away
13:41mentioned that he's trying to play straighter to boom rock
13:45but here Siraj has just drifted onto his pads
13:48wide this time and Krawley creams that away
13:53over backward point
13:55Siraj off target the last two balls one two straight one two wide
14:06very nice shot
14:07I think Bumra got a bit of a hand on it
14:09a left hand on it
14:10that's why it won't go to the boundary
14:12but it was
14:13very authoritative
14:17punch back down the ground
14:18from Ducat
14:20beats the diving Siraj
14:27that allows Ducat to come back for three
