00:08Sony Live. We live to entertain. Download the app.
00:12Then you'll be guaranteed lovely pictures and footage because this is a very pretty ground here in Palli Keli
00:19where we're all gathering for the start of day two.
00:22We're coming to you live from the Palli Keli International Cricket Stadium.
00:25So Pandya is a new batsman. He comes out at a difficult time. Two of us to go. It's a
00:31second new ball.
00:36To his third test match, Hardik Pandya.
00:41Newish ball in hand so plenty of opportunity. Two slips and a gully in place.
00:47Deep backwards square. Fine leg and a deep backward point. First ball of day two.
00:57Pandya will be underway. Look for two and they'll take two.
01:03Very good morning. Sunny Gavaskar.
01:05Morning Simon. Morning everybody.
01:07And Hardik Pandya starts with a nice looking drive through the covers.
01:14Got...
01:16Goals come back in but it's gone off the thigh pad.
01:19But I think big appeal.
01:21Late moment beating Hardik Pandya.
01:24348 for seven.
01:31Crunched, crunched away.
01:33Short of the length and the 350 comes up.
01:36Yes. Marginally short. Not too...
01:39Too short but that's all that Hardik Pandya is looking for.
01:43Gets a little bit of room around the off-snap.
01:45He stands tall and punches it.
01:48It's a very good shot.
01:49He's really crunched it away.
01:50That's the word that he used.
01:52And that's what he's done.
02:00And Edge wants the second.
02:03And gets it.
02:08He took Karna Ratna on.
02:09He's quick, Pandya.
02:12He's on to 49.
02:13He made 50 down in goal.
02:15Dima, Dima, Dima.
02:16Oh, useful runs.
02:23Yeah, gentle push to long off.
02:25Gives him his second 50
02:27in his third test match.
02:29Hardik Pandya.
02:33There we go.
02:34We saw Sheikhar Dhawan do that.
02:37Second 100, he said.
02:39Pandya says,
02:40that's my second 50.
02:43Again, powerfully played.
02:45Four fours and a six.
02:47Just not allowing the bowlers
02:49to settle down into a line and length.
02:56Big one.
02:58Over long off.
03:00And a huge six
03:01to Hardik Pandya.
03:06Saw him coming.
03:08Sandhakan.
03:09Bowled it wider.
03:14Flat hit.
03:18Not much.
03:22Once again,
03:23swept hard
03:24and swept into the gap.
03:31Such a fearless player.
03:37Wilder's in this deep,
03:38but there's no stopping
03:39powerful shots like this.
03:45once again going downtown this time
03:48and straight as an arrow.
03:50Another boundary
03:51to Hardik Pandya.
03:54Wasn't too far away
03:55from Pushpa Kumara.
03:57What we've not seen
03:59from Pushpa Kumara
04:00his turn.
04:02So, player
04:03the caliber of
04:06Pandya
04:07can actually line him up.
04:10Once again,
04:12going straight
04:12towards the side screen.
04:14It's a huge hit.
04:18He has total trust
04:20in what he's doing.
04:23They're basically
04:23two long ons
04:24and a long off.
04:27He can't afford a miss hit,
04:28but he's not thinking
04:29on those lines.
04:30He's thinking,
04:33I'm going to try
04:34and hit one
04:35to the dressing room.
04:36That's what he's trying to do.
04:38Yeah,
04:39got lots of records
04:40of about sixes,
04:42Russell.
04:43This is the 32nd six
04:45in the series.
04:47I think that's the most.
04:50This is high.
04:51That's gone.
04:54That's gone
04:55a fair distance.
04:57And that also brings up
04:58the 50 partnership.
05:03Is that the 100?
05:05It is.
05:06Excellent knock.
05:09He'll make it
05:09to the boundary.
05:12It happens to be
05:13the fastest 100
05:14by an Indian
05:15at number eight
05:15or lower.
05:22We've made it
05:23of 86 balls.
05:25Kapil Dev
05:25did make 100
05:27in 1982
05:28of 86 balls.
05:34Well,
05:35great celebrations
05:36and very well
05:37deserved.
06:01have to do...
