00:00Good afternoon everyone and welcome.
00:22You join us for this match between Sri Lanka and Thailand.
00:25I'm Mel Jones and next...
00:41I suppose that decision brings with it an element of surprise.
00:45Bowling First would on paper seem the risky decision.
00:48They must have considerable belief in their frontline attack.
00:52The umpire signals that we're ready to go.
00:54First ball of the innings, about to be bowled.
01:00Great shot through the gap there.
01:02You can't fault the bowling, sometimes your opponent is just too good.
01:07Wonderful front foot shot and there was no point chasing that.
01:11Getting nicely settled at the crease now, would have been very happy with that last
01:14shot.
01:20Four all the way.
01:21Save your legs.
01:22Well, that was a very solid shot.
01:25Read the length early to get onto the front foot and that raced away for four.
01:30Always difficult to focus after what happened the last ball, but just got to stay positive
01:35and believe the wicket will come.
01:39Misses everything.
01:40Oh, didn't get the feet moving, played down the wrong line, threw the hands at it, got
01:45nothing on the ball.
02:05Better doesn't even have to move.
02:07Absolutely middled that one.
02:09That was a beautiful shot.
02:10Rocks onto the back foot and stabs the ball away.
02:13The defenders had no chance.
02:21Out!
02:22No!
02:23Somehow it's missed everything.
02:24Well, that's a wild one.
02:26Nothing elegant about that shot.
02:28Just not timing it at all.
02:30Poor play.
02:36That's right out of the middle of the bat.
02:39Hit that so hard.
02:41Pressed forward, got the body shape right and launched it.
02:45One for the textbook.
02:46Playing all their shots in that over.
02:48A very expensive one.
02:50The new batter always likes to feel bat on ball early as they bring a bit of energy to
02:54the wicket.
02:55This bowler knows how to give the ball an almighty tweak.
02:59Let's see how they go.
03:06Yes!
03:07Middled that one.
03:08Great timing.
03:12That showed great skill.
03:13Lovely timing.
03:14The boundary was the only place that ball was heading.
03:17Do they go full?
03:18Do they go short?
03:19A lot to ponder this delivery after the boundary.
03:22Yep.
03:23Brilliant.
03:24That'll take some chasing down.
03:30No pressure on that run.
03:32Good running.
03:33Just finding the gap and that allows for rotation of the strike.
03:36Keep the pressure up on the bowlers.
03:40Bold!
03:45Stunning delivery.
03:48And innings that promised much and really in the end delivered very little.
03:53Pretty disappointing all round.
03:55And with that wicket, the new batter will mark centre.
03:58Just needs to rotate the strike early on as they get settled into their innings.
04:03Yeah!
04:07Oh, nice shot.
04:10Well, that was timed very, very well.
04:14Great shot.
04:15Driven down the ground and flew over the boundary.
04:18This delivery just needs to be pitched up on a good length.
04:21Too short and you'll get punished on this pitch.
04:24Wow, that's missed the lot.
04:27Oh, well bowled.
04:37Yes!
04:42Four runs square of the wicket.
04:44Excellent shot.
04:45It just looks so easy.
04:47Gets onto the front foot and eases through the ball.
04:50They can just stand and admire that shot.
04:58And that's the end of the innings.
05:01Thailand have set a target of 34 runs.
05:04And that's the end of the innings.
05:34Thanks for watching.
06:05This is a massive total to chase.
06:10And you just have to stay positive.
06:12The openers are going to have to get into it straight away.
06:15And there is no settling in.
06:29Yeah!
06:30Well, don't even bother running.
06:33Caressed that nicely through the gap to the boundary.
06:37Boundary last ball.
06:38What's to come this delivery, I wonder.
06:47Yep!
06:48Shot on the front foot.
06:50No one's getting that.
06:52Too much room given.
06:53It came onto the bat really well.
06:55And a beautiful shot that just raced away.
07:03Wait!
07:06What a take!
07:07Diving full length and they've taken a magical catch.
07:15What a crucial breakthrough this is.
07:17Excellent bowling to get one of the key wickets cheaply.
07:21New batter comes to the crease.
07:23Not an easy time to bat after the fall of a wicket.
07:26As they get ready to face their first ball,
07:29early on you want to get the batter coming forward
07:31and getting them to play away from the body
07:33before they get themselves settled.
07:35Massive edge.
07:36Misses everyone.
07:37And that's racing away.
07:39Ur's on the side of bowling slightly fuller
07:41and they've been put away.
07:45Don't need to do anything special.
07:47Line and length is the key.
07:53Yep!
07:54Nice shot.
07:57All the way.
07:58Got it right out of the middle.
08:02That last ball isn't something you want to repeat of.
08:07You just don't want to give away easy runs.
08:13Wait!
08:14Couldn't get it through the field.
08:16A little late on that.
08:17No runs scored.
08:19Plenty of shots being played so the bowler takes some stick that over.
08:32Atapatu comes into bat,
08:34has performed well over the last few matches
08:36and is in really good touch.
08:38Going with spin now.
08:53Clean hands makes it look easy.
09:02Well, was that a lazy shot or a good piece of bowling?
09:06The field was set and they fell for it.
09:08Out for a duck.
09:10Coming to the wicket they'll be looking to play in the V early
09:13and expand as they get settled.
09:19Yes!
09:20That's going a long way back.
09:22Almost effortless batting.
09:24Well that ball has been hit.
09:26It's flown into the crowd
09:28to get that much power coming forward onto the front foot
09:31is just ridiculous.
09:33Wait on!
09:34Can't get that outside the ring field.
09:58Yes!
10:03Four runs.
10:04They were so still at the crease.
10:06Just a slight movement forward.
10:08Fabulous shot.
10:15Yeah, yeah.
10:16Nicely played.
10:18You just can't hit it any better than that.
10:21Beautiful shot.
10:22No chance at all for the fielders.
10:25Last ball.
10:26Either side still a chance.
10:27Listen to the crowd.
10:28You can feel the tension throughout the stadium.
10:32Yes!
10:33Hit that hard and fast.
10:42This could have very easily gone either way.
10:44Brilliant cricket from both sides.
