00:00Good evening, one and all. We're here at the famous Eden Gardens.
00:04You join us for this match between India and West Indies.
00:07I'm Adam Gilchrist, and with me for this exciting contest is Allie Mitchell.
00:11It's great to be here for this match. I'm sure we'll be treated to a spectacular contest.
00:16Thanks, Allie. We need to go down to the middle now. The captains are ready for the toss.
00:21The captain must have a lot of confidence in the opening bowlers.
00:24Why else would you bowl first in these conditions?
00:27There are some batters relishing putting their pads on right now.
00:30King opening the batting, right-hander, very capable of the bats.
00:34Pope up the other end to start things off.
00:39Nicely played. Runs one.
00:49Bowling fielders look really confident. Big appeal. This could be out.
01:00Fire in the middle. I want to get the feet moving.
01:09Just missed the line. Not the worst delivery, but that was just...
01:18That's just a brilliantly aggressive shot.
01:20It gets onto the front foot, and it's flown over the boundary.
01:28Lovely cover drive. Straight to the extra cover field.
01:44Out in the middle. Lovely player to watch.
01:57All about the bat speed. That one got under the shortboard.
02:00The boundary's too short.
02:04Cracks off the bat. Nice shot.
02:12That's a brilliantly timed shot off the back foot.
02:14It just flew to the boundary for six.
02:22Well, the shorter ball doesn't work here.
02:25Rode the bounce well, and eased it over the top for six run.
02:35No point chasing that one.
02:36It is racing with the boundary.
02:54That's a waste of a delivery.
02:56Absolutely no trouble getting onto it.
02:58And just...
03:10I'll get at least one hit.
03:14A good innings. That's 50.
03:16A simple raise of the bats.
03:24That was seen so early.
03:26The timing was brilliant, and that is...
03:33That was a really well-timed shot off the bat foot.
03:36Saw it early, and it was dispatched.
03:43Hit that one on the up.
03:44A fabulous drive for six.
03:54That's just a brilliantly aggressive shot.
03:56Gets onto the front foot, and it's thrown over the boundary.
03:59A good innings. That's 50.
04:04What a superb delivery.
04:06Too good.
04:07Just didn't know where it was going.
04:08Knocked him over.
04:21Right-hander, new batter out in the middle.
04:23Right-hander, new batter out in the middle.
04:29Helped on its way, really.
04:30Pivoted onto the back foot, and lofted it all the way.
04:33Well, that's what you pay your entrance money for.
04:41It's blown into the...
04:44Onto the front foot, super shot.
04:47Should be four.
04:49Head over the ball.
04:51Great shot.
04:51That's racing away.
05:05Well, that ball has been hit.
05:08It's flown into...
05:11Go for it.
05:12It's high in the air.
05:13Fielder coming around, but it looks like we'll carry.
05:16Just missed the line.
05:17Not the worst...
05:24That's a waste of a delivery.
05:26Absolutely no trouble getting onto it.
05:40All the way.
05:41Got it right out of the middle.
05:47Caught, and that's stuck.
05:55A left-hander in the middle.
05:57And look...
06:03With a shorter ball, doesn't work here.
06:06Rode the bounce well.
06:09Good shot.
06:10A beauty.
06:19Well, enough leverage there to get a good swing of the arms under it to get it out.
06:29And it can't.
06:32Pulled away.
06:33Beats square.
06:33A fine red coming around.
06:38Super shot.
06:40Can't get that outside the ring field.
06:42And that's the end of the innings.
06:44West Indies have set a target of 210 runs.
06:52I reckon this is a respectable total.
06:54If the bowlers can get firing and get some early wickets, this will be a difficult chase.
06:59Samson, the new batter in the middle.
07:01Right-hander.
07:01Will want a solid start to their innings.
07:05Beats the outside edge.
07:06Good bowling there.
07:09Oh, my word.
07:10That is huge.
07:12Middle.
07:12That's a monster of a shot.
07:14That's just a brilliantly aggressive shot.
07:17Gets on...
07:19Samson advances and throws a batter at it with...
07:24Solid shot.
07:25That's going for four.
07:30Belts it away.
07:31Sharma with four more.
07:35What a shot.
07:36They bludgeoned the ball across.
07:37And over deeply.
07:38Wicket for six.
07:39Absolute power.
07:44Nice shot.
07:45Cut away.
07:45Rain towards the boundary.
07:48Beats the field with a great shot.
07:56Sampson advances and throws a batter at it with...
08:01Lovely shot.
08:02Got back quickly and finds the gap.
08:05Oh, that's just too full.
08:07Sampson makes the ball a pay with a fine shot.
08:10That may be four.
08:11Doesn't even wait.
08:14Onto the front foot.
08:15Super shot.
08:16Should be four.
08:21Oh, my.
08:22My.
08:23That's just flown off the middle.
08:25Well, that's what you pay your entrance money for.
08:27It's flown in...
08:30Ow.
08:31Nicely done by the keeper.
08:43The new man in, but we'll start from the non-striker's end.
08:48Nice shot.
08:49Cut away.
08:50Rain towards the boundary.
08:53Great shot.
08:54Rode the ball up with him and cut through point.
09:00Yep.
09:05Rocks onto the back foot and that is just beautiful.
09:10Too much room and got what it deserves.
09:14And gone.
09:15That's a fantastic catch.
09:21The new man in the middle.
09:23He wants to get...
09:26Caught.
09:27Good work from the keeper.
09:31And safe hands from the keeper.
09:39Out in the middle, doing a quick final check of equipment.
09:44Gone.
09:45Great catch.
09:46Quick reactions.
09:58The crease.
09:59Right-hander.
10:00Very capable with the bat.
10:03Belts it away.
10:05Pandia with four more.
10:09Perfectly timed.
10:14Rocks onto the back foot and that is just beautiful.
10:18Just need to keep the ball in the right areas.
10:20And the rewards will come.
10:21Huge shot.
10:22That's a massive shot.
10:24Just incredible.
10:25Hit that one on the up.
10:29Oh, great shot.
10:32Just missed the line.
10:34Not the worst delivery, but that was...
10:38Gets that away.
10:41All the way.
10:42Got it right out of the middle.
10:47Great shot.
10:48It was a good length to try that.
10:49And they did that with maximum results.
10:51Six more.
10:52Well, that's what you pay your entrance money.
10:55Oh, that's just too full.
10:57Pandia makes the ball a pay with it.
11:00Oh!
11:01Oh!
11:02That's a bit unlucky.
11:16Punch down the ground.
11:17Mid-off and mid-on in pursuit.
11:21Track.
11:22Head was completely still.
11:24And they struck that hard, high and long for six.
11:30Oh, my.
11:31My.
11:32That's just flown off the middle.
11:34That was seen so early.
11:38Oh, that's a leading edge.
11:39Bit of the land safely.
11:40That's all from us in the commentary box.
11:42It's been an amazing match.
11:44Hope to see you again soon.
11:48I'm going to go.
11:48I'm going to go.
11:53I'm going to go.
11:55I'm going to go.
11:57I'm going to go.
11:58I'm going to go.
11:58I'm going to go.
