00:00Pujara just clips it through square leg that will race away to the boundary that
00:09is an excellent shot to start the over morning Jonti morning Roshan excellent
00:14shot not a great delivery definitely a loosen up leg stump half volley play with
00:22the pedigree Pujara no problem dealing with this off the middle of the bat
00:29good head position thanks for the voltage
00:41that's nicely driven that's Pujara in the gap at mid-off that was pitched up in
00:47fact was almost over pitched and Pujara picked the gap yeah this is a real hard
00:56volley on any wicket anywhere around the world you're gonna hit that for four no
01:02chance of any deviation it's not much swing Pujara just needs to present a full face
01:07for the bat which he does and that's gone to the boundary for four Angela Matthews
01:11he's not even interested at the spinners who came into the game I did was just the
01:17quality of good time early the run
01:20plenty of time to get back goalie called early it's 50 for two
01:28this is better first runs for Chiteshra Pujara on day two nicely flicked easily get a couple look for a third
01:50third we'll get it strike rotated to facial Pujara will retain the strike we off this
01:57over 59 for to India
02:01that's played nicely off his legs ask for a couple straight away goalie may want three yes third is
02:12available this is a much better shot the kind of shot that will give the batsman a lot of confidence
02:19played it played it very well the ball came into him the previous two were leaving him you can see
02:25that and he's played it off the middle and next time they did very very well
02:31and stayed away with a tip this will push out a bigger partner looking to get down the pitch
02:49more runs fired it at his pads
03:00it's 72 for three
03:08it's a boundary
03:17there comes that our folly from Macau show and they actually must have a quicker feel that they're
03:25at deep cover you cannot have run gonna her at a deep cover it's 37 he's not going to be speedy
03:31it wasn't too far away and all the ball was well struck you would say that if it was somebody quick I
03:37would have been able to get to the ball funny by Eric and you and I would have had a good chance of
03:41being a little bit quicker oh that should be runs as well and that'll be another boundary this is
03:51shorter flatter and all that Pujara had to do was just lean back and guide the ball past that slip field of that so
04:00that's a boundary of consecutive deliveries
04:08well play just using the pace
04:15well he's releasing the opportunity Pujara he's been pretty quiet
04:27he's prepared to wait and he play with patience for this when a bowler like
04:35Kaushal comes in especially on day two on a pitch which has got a little bit of green
04:39they're not going to be much turn Pujara cashing in a good shot to bring the hundred up for India it has
04:50been a hard grind this morning suddenly there's been a release been very vigil all morning he's
04:59left well really knuckled in doing the job for his captain it's a really good shot off the back foot
05:13rises onto his toes it's a long chase the younger men the team he's got the legs what a wonderful return
05:23as well that's terrific cricket very good shot punch off the back foot getting right on top of the
05:31ball and look at the chase it's a very very good chase slides gets the ball back in and look at the
05:39way the throw has come right on top of the stumps
05:53it's another good shot at the back foot Pujara there is a bit of bounce and turn and possibly they
06:10are asking turn the coach to bowl a little bit shorter there it is a half century for get the
06:23shot Pujara appreciated by the Indian dressing room it's been a hard grind but knowing him this is just
06:33gonna be a small step because making a comeback to the Indian team he'll be looking for a big big score
06:41so his seventh test 50 or six hundreds to go with that four of them are overseas test matches so being
06:54good for India away from home well that's a very good shot very very good shot from Pujara bringing his
07:08bottom man into play punching it through mid wicket for a boundary under nineteen for three wasn't there
07:14short he didn't try and pull it back on his stumps bottom hand whips through quickly it was a straight
07:21bad shot sunny by yes it was you read it very well you read it as the armor coming into him that's a good
07:32shot driven through the covers region look for a couple there is a third for the taking they'll get
07:40it just punched into the gap what a wonderful shot that from Pujara using his feet brilliantly got close to
07:58the ball and hit it straight he does get to the pitch I'm gonna hear it will be slightly disappointed with
08:08the feeling it beautiful shot lovely shot wide half folly quick to seize on that get this shot Pujara now
08:21this is it this is a very very energy conserving signal for a boundary this was not energy conserving
08:28because this was really given it a thump by chetish or Pujara talking about overweight he threw his weight
08:35over that one that is a boundary not exactly in control of it but he will take it
08:47for deep has got gas he can't boil a quick delivery for jar has been there for a while but the certainly
08:58hurries him doesn't get all of it but he gets enough of it and flies fine I will get it he does seven test
09:13six hundred forty fish what Pujara making it come back to the Indian team and the entire Indian team
09:21in the dressing room standing up and applauding just a second away from home he needed it India needed it
09:33well we talked about test match being the grind and exactly what he did definitely now the pitch can
09:44want to get into a half folly and running quickly for the symbol delight there has been waiting been
09:51waiting for a long time all on their feet the dressing room day three takes a single of the first ball so
10:07no farming the strike anymore that's what he was doing last night first ball of the over or in fact it
10:12happens to be the fourth ball another short pitch delivery this time as enough to reach the fence a
10:21boundary to finish the over Sri Lanka a bold a hundred overs India three hundred and twelve for nine
10:27coming up the side that door has been the pick of the bowlers and what played that it is for Pujara
10:32omesh either of a clean bold there are for India all off of 312 but Chetish will Pujara undefeated undefeated
10:40on a hundred and forty five it assess the importance of an inning it's always nice to look at the second
10:47highest score that second highest score came from a number nine batsman in the form of Amit Mishra so
10:53hundred and forty five standing tall remained unbeaten
