00:00Cheteshwar Pujara, what a player he is. What an average he's got.
00:07Off the mark, with a boundary.
00:13Just a bit of bounce.
00:15Beautifully driven. Beautifully flicked away through mid-wicket by Cheteshwar Pujara.
00:27Cheteshwar Pujara is onto the pads.
00:31He's so good with his...
00:35And it's 50 up for Cheteshwar Pujara.
00:38And it'll come in the form of a boundary as well.

00:45Half century for his prolific Indian number three.
00:52Whips it. What a shot that is. What a shot that is.
00:56Just dismissed it from his presence.
00:59That's by no means a half volley. This is such quality from Pujara.
01:04Can't do this unless it's a good surface eye-cats.
01:10Won't stop that one.
01:12That is nicely played. Placement and timing from Pujara.
01:16The key is he got to the pitch. It was held up a bit.
01:20Floated by Herat.
01:22Just looking to pull a touch slower.
01:25Right now he finds the gap.
01:31Down the wicket he found wide mid-off a little while ago.
01:34Now just waited on it.
01:36Said I'll play it square.
01:37And there's a huge gap between that position and the man down at deep point.
01:40Now he's gone past Herat again.
01:46Gee, wait, that's so straight.
01:48The bull has got to get a hand to it.
01:50If he doesn't, it's four.
01:51And so he speeds on to 97.
01:57He's called for two straight away.
01:59Has Cheteshwar Pujara.
