00:00Hoping it'll be a really interesting contest between these two teams.
00:02I have Shane Warne alongside me.
00:04Well, Jonathan, the pitch will be very fast with plenty of bounce,
00:07so the fast bowlers and whispers should particularly enjoy the bowling line.
00:10There are also plenty of runs out here if a batsman can get himself in
00:13and accustomed to the pace.
00:14I would certainly fancy steaming in on this pitch,
00:17as it should be pretty lively.
00:18Temperature should not be an issue today.
00:20It's quite mild, so the players should be very comfortable.
00:34Now let's go down to the pitch where the captains are in the middle
00:36and about to toss the coin.
00:44Looks like they'll be coming out to bat then.
00:46Many people would have bowled first, but it could be worth the risk.
00:55Most of the crowd have found their seats,
00:57so it looks as if we're finally ready to get the match underway.
00:59They have to keep it tight and wait for the mistakes.
01:15He's having problems with his run-up out there.
01:18That's when they're coming back for two.
01:21Confident appeal.
01:23He's calling for the TV replay on this one.
01:26It's crazy to bowled no balls with his new rule about the free hook.
01:51You're assessing a batman's technique.
01:53How are you going to get into his basic stance?
01:55Look, there's a lot of different things to look at about a batman's technique
01:57and trying to find a weakness.
01:59I think the way he holds his grip,
02:01what his stance is like.
02:01Is it open?
02:02Is it closed?
02:03How he holds the bat.
02:04All those little things are very important in assessing his technique
02:07and then making a plan how to get it out.
02:12He lifted it over the infield for four.
02:22Very good timing.
02:26That's four more.
02:27Too many more derivis like that.
02:29And then cap them out for taking.
02:33Beautiful timing.
02:39It's in the air, but there's nobody near it,
02:41and it'll go for four.
02:42That's a real crowd pleaser.
02:53Out!
02:55Four!
03:00Let's take a look at that from another angle.
03:29Exquisite shot.
03:33That's a runaway for four.
03:35Effortless.
03:35Now he's over here.
03:36A beautifully timed shot for four.
03:56Bats are looking for two.
04:12What's the other thing I'm going to say about this one?
04:20That really was very wide.
04:21...
04:29...
04:37That's out.
04:38Cork.
04:43...
04:44...
04:44...
04:44...
04:52He's hit that well.
04:55Four more.
04:56Four runs with four wide runs.
04:58My goodness.
05:09Beautiful time.
05:13Time's up to perfection.
05:14Cracking shot.
05:15He really does get the hit.
05:21Very well timed.
05:24That's over the infield and racing away.
05:28That's a real grab.
05:35He's hit that very hard.
05:39Four runs.
05:40Everything was in the right place then.
05:41Fairly raced to it.
05:43That's an engine of the hornet.
06:01Let's take a look at that from another angle.
06:15No ball.
06:16Empire signalling no ball.
06:22What's the umpire going to say about this one?
06:49What do you say are the most important factors of becoming a top-class opening bounce for one show?
06:53What do you say are the most important factors of becoming a top-class opening bounce for one show?
06:54Top-class opening bounce when you've got to be able to leave the ball, you've got to know which one's
06:56to play at and which to leave, and you've got to be able to rotate the strike.
07:02Bateman are looking for two.
07:14lovely shot.
07:16He plays that shot really well.
07:18He plays that shot really well, though.
07:18It brings him a lot of rise.
07:19He watched that onto the back perfectly.
07:20Splendid strong
07:50That's what fails to follow the ball, and he's in
07:54Let's take a look at that from another angle
08:01The new man in can't afford any lapses in concentration here
08:12Get it out!
08:15He's got it
08:21Let's look at that again
08:26New batsman on strike for England
08:38Nothing scored there
09:16Let's take a look at that in replay
09:21I'm sure the new batsman will look to play himself in
09:32That came right out of the meat of the bat
09:33Tip shot
09:34He really punched the ball there
09:36He didn't have a grip
09:40He was beaten all ends up by that one
09:42He was beaten all ends up by that one
09:43The batsman really had no answer to that one
09:44He wasn't there for very long
09:45He scored shows
09:47Let's have a look at that again
09:53So, new batsman at the crease
10:03The batsman coming back for two
10:06That's a good shot
10:10Well, that's wonderful time
10:12Cook for six!
10:14Fast bowlers don't enjoy that
10:15Wonderful
10:17He really struck that with some force
10:34Who can tell us about this Colombo pitch then, Shane?
10:37The Colombo pitch
10:37Look, with the humidity around here
10:39It can swing
10:39But you really do sweat
10:40So it can be hard work for the quickies
10:42But if they can keep themselves a little bit dry
10:44Keep the sweat off the ball
10:46He's certainly given that some stick
10:47Six rounds
10:48Fucking shot
10:49He really does look like it's not falling off
10:51Left shot
10:51Put the crowd to their feet
10:58Twenty off the over
10:59Very expensive
11:05The ball just runs out into the covers
11:13Jump out signaling that is a wide
11:29He's got it!
11:35He's got it!
11:36Let's take a look at that in repro
11:47He's got it!
11:47He's got it!
11:56That's a corporate appeal!
11:58Gone!
11:59That about wraps it up now
12:03Down from another angle
12:14The tail's really exposed now, well that's a cracking shot, that's gone way into the
12:25stand, 6 runs, a cracking stroke, he hit right through and disappeared out of the ground.
12:29That was 6 all the way, great stroke point, 6, he hit that with great power, that's 12 conceded in
12:49the over.
13:01He's sent him back, there's trouble here, can they run him out?
13:09Let's have a look at that again.
13:15The ball just runs out into the cup.
13:20He's hit that well.
13:23Smashing shot, really, really smashing.
13:26I've paid money just to come this way.
13:28Splendid stroke.
13:41Let's have a look at that from another angle.
13:48He stuck that really firmly.
14:00That's one coming back for a second.
14:08Come out!
14:15Let's have a look at that again.
14:20That brings the innings to a close.
14:22He's getting a polite round of applause as he makes his way to the pavilion.
14:29Smashing shot.
14:30Top class out in the back and you've got to be able to lead the ball.
14:32You've got to know which ones to play out and which to lead.
14:34And you've got to be able to rotate the stroke.
14:37Edged!
14:43Oh, that's a cracking shot.
14:46That was a fine shot before.
14:48Great footwork, beautiful shot.
14:50He hit that with great power.
15:05What a beautiful stroke.
15:09You watch that onto the back perfectly.
15:11It plays that shot really well and it brings in a lot of race.
15:30The ball is out.
15:37And from another angle.
15:50Tremendous shot.
15:52He really looks in good nickname.
15:54Oh, I like that too much.
15:56He should have a great power.
16:03No ball.
16:04He's having some problems with his run-up out there.
16:07So the umpire signalling free hit.
16:08And so the batsman can only be out.
16:10Run out off this ball.
16:12Beautifully played.
16:15There it goes.
16:16Miles out there.
16:17See, the ball's silo defence is just the worst sighting.
16:28Super shot.
16:29That was four runs.
16:30As soon as he did.
16:30He used the pace of the outfield perfectly.
16:32He used the pace of the outfield perfectly.
16:52Brilliant timing.
16:56Four.
16:57Four.
16:57Four.
16:57He got back beautiful there.
16:58His weight was just in the right place.
16:59And the weight went to four.
17:07It's gone down.
17:08It really wasn't that difficult.
17:09You've got to feel so sorry for the bowlers in these circumstances.
17:12Be disappointed not to have held on to that one.
17:13Ten from the over.
17:14And he's off down to the outfield.
17:15Have a think about it.
17:16Dero, dero, dero.
17:17Butterfingers.
17:17You really need to hold on to your catches in the national cricket.
17:30Super shot.
17:31We've gone into a perfect position for that shot.
17:33Head over the ball.
17:33Weight pulled.
17:49Oh, that's a cracking shot.
17:50Beautiful timing.
17:52I can just imagine what's going through the bowler's head right now.
17:55As he won't be a happy game.
17:56Look at that.
17:56Great power.
18:07It really is scoring at an excellent rate.
18:25He's gone away with that.
18:30They're having a shout.
18:36Let's look at that again.
19:00Beautiful timing.
19:04Everything was in the right place there.
19:06Fairly raced here.
19:07It's been a rather expensive over so far.
19:14One more, two extras.
19:15First, good guys.
19:27Oh, that's a cracking shot.
19:34You quickly sparked it.
19:35That came right out of the meat of the bat.
19:38That shot brought the crowd to their feet.
19:48Ouch! No, he's dropped it!
19:58Super shot, he really punched the ball away.
20:05One more!
20:06One more to the extras, Colin.
20:08Will he keep it with two p's with that?
20:22Oh, great shot!
20:26That's raced the way through.
20:28He plays that shot really well and it brings in a lot of runs.
20:30It's been a rather expensive over so far.
20:43It's a great shot to play, you can get your lot to run, but you can also get out.
20:50Big shout!
20:51Go on!
20:52I was hoping it's gone down by the sky.
20:56And from another angle.
21:05Serious pressure on the man in there.
21:43Great stop!
21:51Go on!
21:52Go on!
22:36No one scored. That's two from the overlay.
23:10Let's have a look at the action repo.
23:43Let's have a look at that again.
23:44I wonder what Hawkeye made of that.
23:48Let's have a look at that.
23:51Let's have a look at that.
24:12Let's have a look at that.
24:13Great shot.
24:15Four more.
24:19The crowd really enjoyed that one.
24:34Let's have a look at that for a second.
25:00Beautiful timing.
25:03That's a big hit.
25:04It's not going to clear the rope, but it's four rounds.
25:07Place that superbly.
25:17Right out of the top drawer.
25:21He just can't fault the place for Claire.
25:23Four rounds.
25:23Lovely timing there.
25:25He played that beautifully.
25:48He's lost his concentration and paid for it.
25:51Let's have a look at that again.
25:57Real concentration required for the new batsman here.
26:06They're appealing.
26:10He's gone without dubbing the scores.
26:12That was straight in front.
26:13No doubt about that one.
26:13This coach will have him back in the nets first thing in the morning, practicing that
26:16shot.
26:16Let's have a look at that from another angle.
26:18I wonder what Hawkeye made of that.
26:39Let's have a look at that from another angle.
26:41You watch that onto the back perfectly.
26:43I've seen the ball sail out of the fence.
26:44It was the worst sight of the ball.
26:46He picked the length really early there.
26:57He's scoring at a prolific rate at the moment.
27:11He's hit that well.
27:14He looks in fine form.
27:15That was a fine shot before.
27:17He's certainly not hanging around.
27:19This captain's never too happy with that.
27:35That's when coming back for a second.
27:40Good shot.
27:41That's when coming back for a second.
27:49Good shot.
27:50Good shot.
27:50And good stop too.
27:59It's gone down, it really wasn't that difficult, you've got to feel so sorry
28:05The ball just won
28:12Let's have a look at that again
28:22Great timing
28:25He's certainly given that some stick, six runs, what can I say, he looks in top form today
28:29That was a very confident shot
28:34Required run rate is only three and over
28:40Great shot
28:42Good luck
28:44You
28:44You
28:44You
28:44You
28:45You
28:47You
29:11Let's take a look at that from another angle.
29:35That's it, it's all over.
29:35Let's take a look at that from another angle.
