00:08Sony live we live to entertain download the app
00:15to everyone welcome back to the Gaul International Stadium day three of this first test match the
00:22the ground staff everywhere in Sri Lanka brilliant you know they just ensure that every inch gets
00:28covered so the damage gets minimized talking about without Kohli Kumara with ball in hand set to go
00:40and straight away it'll be a boundary just leaning forward
00:48Virat Kohli gets a full toss and he is off the mark with a boundary
00:5660 for two
01:01happened to us very often to be honest Roshan I gotta say
01:07that's the area that's the area that has been the undoing for Virat Kohli it's where many sides have
01:15looked to bowl at him yes swishing at that delivery very little feet moment could have easily been a
01:23feather
01:26hardly moved never really got across and it's too wide yeah well in India that just comes very very good
01:41well that's beautifully timed again and excellent work
01:50brilliant in the outfield
01:53Minotilika charging around the boundary we had a decent view of it Roshan I'm pretty sure he got his hand
02:00to it got it back in there and then hit the rope afterwards so lets it go brilliant yeah very
02:08well done
02:14ah that's lovely timing again the placement from Virat Kohli brings about another boundary
02:28more runs oh my goodness that's gone for four for a moment I thought he had it covered
02:34the timing using the pace of the ball and the timing was exquisite between England and South Africa so
02:45two tests going on simultaneously those who might be interested England 218 for five
02:53as the 50 partnership comes up here in Gaul
02:58218 for five Ben Stokes is 48 Johnny Bairstow is on 11 and Alistair Cook dismissed
03:05this morning short of a hundred
03:08partnership very quick time as well just 51 deliveries
03:13right coli has been the aggressor
03:15i think he'll just pull them bring them out for a little while go to about 5 25 30.
03:21for the moment though he'll just run across and complete his first half century in eight innings
03:27but he's uh he's planted the seeds for something much bigger
03:33thousand runs as captain for coli in matches outside india is the quickest to get there got there in 68
03:41balls
03:46untroubled get some very good shots but it's just about time now about uh
03:52uh skip of their at coli deciding when and where he wants to unleash his bowlers 52 from 71 he's
04:04going
04:04along at a runner ball for about the first 35 36 of those runs things have slowed down a touch
04:11towards the
04:11the end and he runs from abinamukun 65 will do his confidence a lot of good
04:29well no run there oh no no no keepers in was gone keepers in was absolutely gone
04:37and i think rahani would have been run out if coli had gone as well
04:44oh that was off leg stump so late delicate as well from coli
04:58there to watch it ever so carefully
05:05look at dick well he's watching it all the way but generally it's a lot tougher to chase
05:10in the subcontinent because the spinners are dominating and
05:16oh that six just a drop kick
05:23nicely played good use of the feet
05:33so well controlled
05:49push for two here take it quite comfortably
05:55line quite predictable
05:58both batsmen happy to walk across
06:05will they go will they go will they go no coli says no this time
06:16call you looks like he'll be able to pick his own spot
06:21and he does 17th test match 100 for virat koly and second against sri lanka and his 10th as skipper
06:31of india
06:33he needed that one he needed that just to arrest a small slump in his form and he's done that
06:42cool
06:43all right with just how good he's done it and i'm into the star
06:43with grand style some wonderful shots he's played five fours and a six and scored it
06:48grand style some wonderful shots he's played 5 4s and a 6s and scored it pretty quickly
06:55it's his first hundred in the third innings of a test match as well
07:01Sonny has 11 hundreds in 47 tests Coley 10 hundreds and 27 tests and now averages 50 or
07:10more in all three international formats only player to have that feat at this point in time
07:19it's pretty special providing he doesn't get out it will remain that way still only 28 years old
07:32so a lot more cricket to come from him looks very fit to do so
08:15you
