00:04is Australia hosting India in this the second of a three-game one-day
00:08international series fielding and Rowett might be in trouble. Oh, it is a direct kick.
00:16Class, pure class, sort of flick as well, he's done that with ease, advances and taken, the captain gets the captain, big shout, looks close, he's got him, Cole is out for a duck, edged and finally he gets the runs off Josh Hazelwood,
00:45to Rowett, Lofted, that's better, his most impressive shot of the afternoon, Rowett, Sharma drives Hazelwood straight down the ground for a boundary, caressed nicely, was it a big gap, sliced, that's a nice stroke, barely moved from the crease after he hit it, continue, Sharma just starting to work,
01:15through the gears, two men out there, they watch it sail away, this is what the pro-Indian crowd have come to see.
01:24Oh, that one is better, a touch deeper, a couple of sixes and Rowett Sharma is really rolling now.
01:34Driven confidently down the ground, this is a big over for the visitors.
01:37Stand-up sweep from Rowett, he times it sweetly.
01:45Early problems for Rowett Sharma, but class prevails, 50 in Adelaide.
01:54Timed sweetly by Rowett Sharma, he's starting to look to his best now.
01:58Oh, just got a finger on it, Diddy, it's going to be a four.
02:07Yeah, that was just too wide, and across the face of the right-hander and Rowett Sharma, that was pretty easy pickings for a class player.
02:15And with that single, Shreyas-I up goes to 50.
02:22Yeah, it gets hooked around nicely.
02:26Heave to the leg side, and held on to it, fine leg.
02:34It's over, that shortish mid-wicket into the boundary.
02:37There it is, just giving himself that little bit of room.
02:44Yes!
02:45Oh, he fights back beautifully, Adam Zampa.
02:49There is the slip!
02:53Advances, opens away over the offside, saw the gap, hit the gap.
02:59Yes!
03:00Bolt in, that's what he does, Zampa, targets the stumps.
03:03That's a nice stroke, too.
03:07Well picked up from Axar Patel, he's a sweet timer of the cricket ball.
03:13That's nice, he whipped through mid-wicket.
03:15Slightly squarer.
03:17It's leg side, whip, man, settles underneath, and that is taken by Josh Hazelwood.
03:24That's a beautiful stroke.
03:27Just chipped it to Josh Hazelwood.
03:29Well, that's well struck, there is a deep, long off, settling.
03:33The wrestle.
03:34Wow.
03:36You can only sit back and admire that.
03:39In the field of play.
03:41Easy pickings for Alex Carey.
03:46Powerful blow.
03:51Well, it's found the gap there.
03:52Back-to-back boundaries.
03:56Again.
03:58Even better stroke.
03:59Tate Long, and that's a good blow over pitch, Mitchell Stark.
04:06That's a nice stroke as well, so the tail enders are winning this little battle at the moment.
04:11There it is, Mitchell Stark, yeah.
04:13There it is, Mitchell Stark, yeah.
04:16They finished nine for 264.
04:18That man there, Mitchell Master Captain, he's an exquisite touch.
04:22Oh, there's almost, uh, a blind hat.
04:29Whoa, Travis Head picks it up and sends it over backwards square.
04:34He just clipped that, and that'll get the fans and the scoreboard ticking along.
04:41Whipped.
04:42It was a shout of catch, but it was sweetly timed by Marsh.
04:45Advances, edge and taken.
04:47Rahul takes the catch, Ash deep, breaks through.
04:50Oh.
04:51Oh, Short.
04:53He has hit that a long way.
04:56Biggest hit of the afternoon off the bat of Matt Short.
05:00Straight up in the air.
05:02Mid-off stands underneath it.
05:04Yirat Kohli takes the catch.
05:06Rana breaks through.
05:07The hometown hero is out.
05:10Creative.
05:11Plenty of room down there.
05:13And that is the confidence of a man that's waited, well, had a taste of international cricket ten years ago
05:18and has waited a long time to come into a different format.
05:23Again, that, uh, Matt Short on this occasion.
05:25It wasn't far away from Harsh at Rana.
05:28That's a classic stroke from Short.
05:30Mind square.
05:32Oh, that's a hot chance as well that's gone begging.
05:38Powerful blow all the way from Renshaw.
05:43Lovely bit of timing.
05:46There was not a huge gap.
05:49Got him.
05:50Straight through Renshaw.
05:52Into the stump.
05:52Two arms in the air for Axar Patel.
05:56Wide of the crease.
05:58Nicely played.
05:58So, it's, uh, 50 now for Matt Short.
06:06To draw out a wicket.
06:08He tries to slog sweep, but Washington Sunda goes right through the opening.
06:14Got it!
06:15Catch at it.
06:16Oh!
06:16A little bit slower.
06:21Overpitched and just, uh, beautifully caressed through the covers.
06:27It's been a great delivery.
06:30Yeah!
06:30Well, that's, uh, backwood a point.
06:34Oh, he's had a chance.
06:36It's going to fly over the road.
06:40Oh, it's time.
06:40That's, uh, what is it, Rav?
06:42What was that?
06:43It's to the fence.
06:44They've got a trace of all that.
06:45He's softened its drag, but, uh, it's just enough.
06:52Chance now.
06:54Can he redeem himself?
06:55He can.
06:57Oh, he punched off the back foot.
06:59That is well-timed by Michoan.
07:01He does hit the ball very hard.
07:04Oh, gee, it's a long ball, Michoan, when he winds up.
07:07Michoan facing Hashit.
07:09Rana takes him on.
07:11Michoan looks like he's in a hurry tonight.
07:15Worked away again.
07:17There's two men out there.
07:18He didn't really time it, but his placement was absolutely wonderful.
07:25Just gets a bit of length.
07:26He doesn't need much.
07:27The big levers of Owen.
07:30Suraj back.
07:31Connolly throws the hands at it.
07:33Hits it absolutely sweetly.
07:38Calls two.
07:39He's very quick between the wickets, Cooper Connolly.
07:41He dashes back, looking for a first 50 for his country.
07:44What a time to do it.
07:47As the length he was after, Fielder comes around.
07:50Should take the catch and done.
07:54Straight down the ground.
07:55Won't be an easy catch, but it is a catch.
07:57That's nicely played.
08:01Really nicely played by Stark.
08:05Out.
08:08Cooper Connolly lets it go to wide.
08:10So an Australia win on a sundry.
08:12Cooper Connolly plays the defining innings.
08:15Wins the match for his country.
08:17And Australia take a 2-0 lead.
08:18First time, it's going to be full port.
08:20Here we go.
08:24Ruben this right.
08:35Keep going.
