00:05Superb shot
00:08How quickly he picked up the short length of that ball
00:11And whipped that very heavy bat it is, over 3 pounds in weight
00:15And the ball went for 4 just in front of the square leg
00:184 to Gooch
00:19With a scorer on 35
00:22Bowling change now, Roger Harper to come on
00:26There's his performance in one day cricket
00:2951 wickets
00:31Useful bowler, nagging
00:33Darting it in a round leg stump
00:34Just bowling to a field of 3 on the offside
00:40And that's just what Graham Gooch is looking for
00:42Harper slightly quicker delivery, just short of a length
00:45And of course on this wicket when the ball comes on
00:47Graham Gooch is just standing back and cutting out her way to the third man bound before that
01:00Now that's a super shot
01:02Super shot
01:04Remarkable thing about that stroke is that he played it on the up
01:07And just a flick of the bat
01:10And the man down at third man, who is well positioned by Richard
01:13And again
01:17Introducing the sixth bowler now then, Karl Ruper
01:19To Gooch
01:27Ruper has impressed
01:29Suggesting an off-cutter
01:31Mixed up with seamers
01:39Well this really is bad bowling and Richard will be very annoyed
01:43A bowler knows roughly when he's going to bowl in these one day matches
01:46He's got
01:46Harper to Gooch
01:53Oh!
01:54Well, he was all but bowled
01:56And if he had been
01:58It would have been almost entirely of Gooch's doing
02:02Extraordinary piece of cricket for a man who's in control
02:05Tried to step away
02:06Went back in
02:07Got completely disorientated
02:09And thought he'd be bowled
02:11Four byes to England
02:12The score moves on
02:15So it's now 114 for two
02:17And that's
02:18I think that's a
02:19A big slice of luck
02:21Struck before
02:23Difficult situations
02:27Reclosing Hooper
02:28Three overs for 27
02:30As well as six wide
02:31So
02:33With Richard to see if he can
02:35Put his finger in the dive
02:39Goes for it
02:41Great cheer underground
02:42Graeme Gooch is 50
02:46Clearly has played very well
02:48It was
02:48Very difficult batting in the early stages
02:51When the big seamers
02:52Patterson
02:53And Walsh
02:54And Benjamin
02:54Steamed in on this pitch
02:57So we've got 42 overs
02:58Eight overs left
03:01And
03:01There's a change of bowling
03:03Now back
03:04Comes
03:05Patrick Patterson
03:06He's bowled five overs so far
03:11Beautifully played
03:12Beautifully played
03:15Quite regal
03:17Graeme Gooch stepping back
03:19Outside leg stump
03:21And just choosing that big gap at extra cover
03:34So it's in the air
03:35So it's in the air
03:36That's easy out
03:3792 he's out for
03:39Never quite understood the business of
03:43Darting around like an outside half at the crease
03:45And then playing the shot
03:46A little bit off balance
03:47But that's
03:48A marvellous
03:49Innings by Graeme Gooch
03:51Caught by Harper
03:52A deep mid wicket
03:52Off Patterson
03:53For 92
03:57As you can see Gooch
03:58Going backwards and forwards
03:59And really then
04:00You're not in a position
04:02To get your balance right
04:03And that
04:04It is a marvellous
04:05Innings by Gooch
04:06He really has played well
04:07But I do believe that
04:08When you've got in
04:09And got 90 odd
04:10That you can't
04:11Stand still
04:12And you can play better
04:13If you're perfectly balanced
04:14John Embry is
