00:00Good evening, one and all. I'm Adam Gilchrist, and joining me for what should be an exciting contest is Ali
00:05Mitchell.
00:06Thanks for the fabulous introduction. We're just about ready to get underway.
00:10Thanks, Ali. Let's join them down in the middle to find out who will be fielding first.
00:15You'd be tempted to bat first on this pitch, but with this bowling attack, well, it's not a bad idea
00:21to get them at the opposition early
00:22and see what problems they can cause. They're going to be the right-hander opening first up today.
00:26Ayo joining him in the middle to kick things off.
00:40Flex that one, simple as you like.
00:44Brilliant shot there.
00:47That's a waste of a delivery. Absolutely no trouble getting onto it.
00:51All right, outside edge. It'll be safe and another boundary.
00:56Find a gap.
00:58Oh, my. That's racing away.
01:01You just can't...
01:04Nice shot. Just a flip off the pads.
01:07That was on the side of...
01:10That's the big one. A maximum.
01:12Away she goes.
01:13If you lose the pictures, it's because it's hit the broadcast truck.
01:20Oh, well. Don't even bother running.
01:23That showed...
01:23You've got to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure.
01:27Oh, my word. That is huge.
01:29Middle. That's a monster of a shot.
01:32Well, that ball has...
01:36Shot straight past the ball. I could well be forward.
01:41Huge shot. That's a massive shot. Just incredible.
01:46Well, that's what you pay your entrance money for. It's blown into the crowd.
01:53Beautiful take.
01:54Caught and bold.
02:03The out in the middle and just about ready to go.
02:06Onto the front foot.
02:08Oh, that's beautifully struck right out of the gut's end all the way.
02:12That's just a brilliantly aggressive shot.
02:15Gets onto the front foot.
02:18Gone.
02:19Superb catch.
02:21Yeah.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Yeah.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Yeah.
02:31The new batter, right-hander.
02:33Well, it couldn't find a gap.
02:36Nicely played.
02:42Crunched over the onside.
02:43Oh, the batter holds the pose as the ball sails.
02:45I reckon 12 deep into the crowd for a maximum.
02:51Wide of extra cover and away goes the ball to the bound.
02:55Go on.
02:56Great catch.
02:57Good reactions.
03:10The new man taking guard in the middle.
03:18That's the start you want.
03:20Awesome shot and it's flown over the boundary.
03:22And the rewards will come.
03:25Brilliant shot.
03:26That's one for the crowd.
03:28All the way.
03:29Got it right out of the middle.
03:34And what a strike that is.
03:36Right into the slot.
03:37Great timing and balance.
03:38It'll be a maximum.
03:40Well, that's a waste of a...
03:43Bang.
03:43Sent back over the bowler's head.
03:45Mid off and mid on.
03:46Can only watch as that ball sails into the crowd.
03:52Go for it.
03:53It's high in the air.
03:53Fielder coming around.
03:55But it looks like it'll carry.
04:02Maddison over pitches.
04:03And pays the price.
04:04Great shot by the batter.
04:08Oh, too much room.
04:09And got what it deserved.
04:12And that shot.
04:14Oh, no.
04:15A good innings.
04:18Oh, whack.
04:19Cooked the bones out of that.
04:21It's gone for a maximum.
04:22That's just silly.
04:24The power on that shot is incredible.
04:26That's the sort of shot you want to see at a cricket match.
04:31Shire.
04:32Should be runs here.
04:34Well, what a...
04:36Head over the ball.
04:37Great shot.
04:38That's racing away.
04:42That's got a flight number attached to it.
04:44That ball has gone a long, long way.
04:47Well, that's a very good hook shot.
04:51Full toss and worked off the pads nicely.
04:54Could well be full.
04:57A nice glance off the pads.
04:59No stopping that one.
05:02Gone.
05:03Knocked them over.
05:03Just too much pace there.
05:20She's drifting onto the legs and driven away.
05:22Lovely.
05:25Massive outside edge.
05:26Flex that one.
05:28Simple as you like inside the ring.
05:29That's the end of the innings.
05:30Sri Lanka have been set a target of 177 runs.
05:40I reckon this is a respectable total.
05:42If the bowls can get firing and get some early wickets, this will be a difficult chase.
05:46Right-hander out in the middle.
05:48Doing a little bit of last-minute gardening.
05:56Dries into the covers.
05:57That looks like it's going all the way.
06:06Gone.
06:06Made all around that one.
06:08What a delivery.
06:19The new batter in the middle.
06:21Right-hander.
06:24Fantastic shot.
06:25Pitch too short and hipped away for four.
06:31Doesn't hit.
06:34And out.
06:35Straightforward catch by the wigger keeper.
06:47The crease.
06:48Right-hander.
06:48Very capable with the bat.
06:53Does very well to quickly get across to this one.
06:56Oh.
07:01The new man in, but will start from the non-striker's end.
07:06Oh, nicely done.
07:07That's gone fine.
07:08May well be four.
07:12Oh, well.
07:13Don't even bother running.
07:15Well, that one's for the textbook.
07:18Power and precision in that shot.
07:25The whole team's gone up here.
07:27What's the umpire going to say?
07:29Oh, that's close.
07:38Lorde, left-hander, taking guard.
07:46That was seen so early.
07:48The timing was brilliant.
07:49And that is stayed hit.
07:51Fantastic.
07:56The end of another over.
07:57This time, though, more fielding changes are coming.
08:00Restrictions are listed.
08:01The captain can now put five fielders.
08:06Good shot.
08:07A beauty.
08:14This batter is brilliant off the back foot.
08:17Transfers their weight.
08:29That's just silly.
08:31The power on that shot is incredible.
08:35Great shot.
08:36Rode the ball up with him and cut through point.
08:43The gap was left open for them and they were happy to oblige.
08:47Kicked it early.
08:48Got into position.
08:54Four runs.
08:55They were so still at the crease.
08:57Just a slight movement.
09:16And that was seen so early.
09:18The timing was brilliant.
09:20And that is stayed hit.
09:26Just missed the line.
09:28Not the worst delivery.
09:29But that was dispatched with interest.
09:32Everyone just watched that in awe.
09:39Extra cover with a fantastic catch.
09:41The batter.
09:46The batter.
09:46The new batter in but won't be facing.
09:53Threaded it.
09:59Just missed the line.
10:01Not the worst delivery.
10:02But that was dispatched with it.
10:14They're caught.
10:15That's just superb.
10:23Nice shot.
10:24Run is possible.
10:28Oh, nicely done.
10:30That's going fine.
10:31In the world before.
10:34Got down and rolled the wrist beautifully.
10:40That's all from us in the commentary box.
10:41It's been an amazing match.
10:43Hope to see you again soon.
10:44Haunbergh.
10:49Ho början.
10:52Come on.
10:56Look at the weight.
