00:00Good evening, one and all. You join us for this match between India and South Africa.
00:05I'm Adam Gilchrist, and with me for this exciting contest is Ali Mitchell.
00:08Thanks for the fabulous introduction. We're just about ready to get underway.
00:12Thanks, Ali. We go out to the middle now. Big decision coming up.
00:16Wins the toss and decides to bowl first here.
00:19The home captain obviously thinking they've got a good grasp of the conditions.
00:23Markram, the right-hander, opening today.
00:26De Pop, his opening partner today.
00:392-4, and got what it deserved.
00:42You can't fault that shot.
00:46Tracks off the bat. Nice shot.
00:51Great shot. It was a good length to try that, and they did that with maximum results.
00:56Six more.
01:03Head over the ball. Great shot. That's racing away.
01:07Doesn't even wait.
01:10Gets onto the back foot quickly, and that has just flown.
01:16Oh, jeez, that's a shot. This is wonderful batting.
01:23Itched. That's gone. Nice, simple catch.
01:27Gone. Fine catch.
01:35The lefty is at the crease, just about ready to start.
01:40No point chasing that one. It is racing to the boundary.
01:46Get over the ball. Great shot. That's racing away.
01:52De Pop, stand and deliver. Holds the pose as the ball goes straight over the bowler.
01:58Six more.
01:59A fantastic shot off the bat.
02:02Brilliant. That'll take some catching.
02:06Yeah, what a lovely shot.
02:09Too much room, and got what it deserved.
02:16This could be out.
02:18And gone. The fielder at long off.
02:20Had to run around the boundary, but they've taken a fine catch.
02:25The new batter, right-hander.
02:30Power and precision in that shot.
02:36A lovely hook shot.
02:37Might even make it to the boundary.
02:43And that's stuck.
02:53Coming in the middle order.
02:55Fine looking left.
02:58Track.
02:59Head was completely still,
03:01and they struck that hard, high, and long for six.
03:07Nicked it, but it's going to go all the way to the boundary.
03:12Oh, nicely done.
03:14That's gone fine.
03:15They will be going very defensive.
03:18That's huge.
03:19That's a biggie.
03:20It is out of here.
03:21Absolutely smoked off the bat.
03:27Yes.
03:31A good innings.
03:32That's 50.
03:33Simple raise of the bats.
03:38That's high.
03:38Is there enough on it?
03:40There is.
03:41Add that maximum to the scoreboard.
03:43Thank you very much.
03:48Great shot.
03:49It was a good length to try that,
03:50and they did that with maximum results.
03:52Six more.
03:53Just missed the line.
03:55Not the worst delivery,
03:56but that was dispatched.
04:00That's got a flight number attached to it.
04:02That ball has gone a long, long way.
04:05Well, that's a very good...
04:09Absolutely nothing the batter could do there.
04:10They're totally undone by a superb in-swinging Yorker.
04:24The new man in the middle has a lovely take.
04:29Perfectly timed.
04:34See, with a huge appeal.
04:37Oh, that's close.
04:44Looks calm in the middle,
04:46ready to face his first ball.
04:49Oh, that's been heaved away
04:51and punished over the rope.
04:52That's a brute of a maximum.
04:54Well, that's what you pay your entrance money for.
04:57It's blown into the defensive field.
05:00Off the middle of the bat.
05:04Well, the shorter ball doesn't work here.
05:06It rode the bounce well
05:08and eased it over.
05:11Paul Tyson worked off the pads nicely.
05:13Could well be full.
05:16That's huge.
05:17That's a biggie.
05:18It is out of here.
05:20Absolutely smoked off the bat.
05:22Well, enough leverage there to get a good...
05:26Yeah.
05:26Oh, that's a bit unlucky.
05:39Right-handed batter out in the middle.
05:43Dubé over pitches and pays the price.
05:46Great shot by...
05:49Too much room and got what it deserved.
05:53Well, that ball has been hit.
05:58Down the ground.
05:59Lovely shot.
06:00Mid-off chasing.
06:01That could be full.
06:04Yes!
06:10Yes!
06:12He's quick on to that in the infield.
06:14That's the end of the innings.
06:15South Africa have set a target of 195 runs.
06:25I reckon this is a respectable total.
06:27If the Bowles can get firing and get some early wickets,
06:30this will be a difficult chase.
06:32Sharma, the left-hander out in the middle,
06:34looks keen to get going.
06:41The end of the innings with a standard catch out in the deep.
06:44Didn't really have to move at all.
06:48Just about ready to go out in the middle.
06:56Just missed the line.
06:58Not the worst delivery, but that was dispatched.
07:06That's just silly.
07:08The power on that shot is incredible.
07:16A fantastic shot off the bat, but really well-timed.
07:26Well, that was just textbook.
07:27Find the space and power to lift that.
07:40Oh, he's played that well.
07:46Back with a...
07:54Oh, he's played that well.
08:08Out in the middle, lovely player to watch once in.
08:22Caress that nice.
08:30That's a waste of a delivery, absolutely no trouble getting on.
08:43Coming in, but we'll be starting from the non-strikers.
09:02Hit that so hard, pressed forward, got the ball.
09:08Too much room and got what it deserved.
09:18Helped on it's way really, pivoted onto the back foot and locked it.
09:28That's a solid shot.
09:32Good innings, that's 50. A simple raise of the bats. Thumbs up to their batting partner.
09:39Shot, textbook pull shot and that's racing away to the bat.
09:45Track, head was completely still and they struck that hard, high and long for six.
10:05This batter is brilliant off the back foot, transfers their weight back.
10:12Shot, should be runs here.
10:20Out, caught.
10:29The new man taking guard in the middle.
10:44All the way, got it right out of the middle.
10:50Not fast enough to beat the middle of the bat, can't you?
10:58Well that's a waste of a delivery, absolutely no trouble getting onto it and dispatching it.
11:08Well that ball has been hit, it's flown into the crowd.
11:13And believe the wicket's going to come.
11:15Edged it, no one there.
11:16Yeah, it could be four.
11:31...about broadcast for now.
11:32Hope you enjoyed the match and join us again real soon.
11:46...
