00:00So the two West Indian batsmen Chris Gale and Wavell Hines coming out to the center
00:10Chris Gale, he's been the man in form as far as the West Indies are concerned
00:15200s in this one-day series already and Ian they'll be looking for a good start here the West Indies
00:20Yes, a very good start Robbie within the first 14 overs when the limitations are applicable
00:26It's going to make things a lot easier for the West Indies because we've seen that this pitch has a bit of turn in it
00:33So when Habergein and Katic and company come on the slow bowlers if the West Indies can get a good start of maybe seven or eight
00:39Runs and over then they don't have to take too many risks against these slow bowlers
00:44But all depends on Javagal Srinath and they have not been able to get those wickets
00:49Early on in the first 14 or 15 overs and it's left to be seen if that will continue to be a problem
00:57So Srinath on his way
01:00Gale the man on strike
01:08And off the mark straight away with a single
01:16This will be a big factor for the West Indies, how many singles
01:27Yeah
01:37It's punched off the back foot, but Srinath's got a man at deep point
01:41So you can see the line of attack is going to be outside the off stump for the left-hander
01:45But the field changes for Chris Gale and drops back to a fine leg position Srinath will come back to over the wicket
01:56That's a fine shot first boundary of the innings
02:02And West Indies after one over six for no loss
02:11Lakshmipati Balaji
02:16We'll stick to Balaji for today won't we Ravi
02:20Lakshmipati
02:22Used to Venkatapati
02:26Lakshmipati Balaji on his way big game for him first match in international cricket
02:32And it's a cracking shot by Wavell Hines just offering a little bit of width the young man will be a little nervous
02:40He'll take some time for him to find his feet
02:44Yes, he'll be hope that this is not a sign of things to come but with the lines and Gale have shown that if they're
02:49given any width
02:51That they will punish it. There's a sweeper on the offside, but this was it in front of that sweep up
02:56This new ball will travel across the outfield very very quickly
03:02That's placed away, that's not the place to bowl with this kind of field
03:10I'm not sure what the intention is
03:13By removing the sweeper from the offside if you're going to give him that room anyway, but it's gonna be a testing time for Balaji
03:20Chris Gale does not spare these types of deliveries easily and with the run rate the asking rate about six
03:27The West Indies are off to a very good start
03:33It's in the air, but pass cover. Kaif won't cut it off
03:38So good over for the West Indies 14 coming of it 24 no loss
03:42That's a glorious shot. There is the point, but he can only be a spectator as the ball races past the line
03:50Again hit with tremendous power by Hynes
03:57All I can say Ravi is business as usual
04:00The first 15 overs if you've drawn the short straw then you've got to bowl with it
04:04But if you've got to bowl with it, then you've got to bowl with it
04:07The first 15 overs if you've drawn the short straw then you've got to bowl within them
04:12He's not a pressure enough, but we've seen this in all four games before this match anything slightly. He's got that through
04:20Second boundary of the over there's no deep point now
04:25Sreenath if he gives some room and pay the price for it, but again well executed a shot nicely on top of it Hynes
04:32And it's a familiar shot, we've had six boundaries in this game so far and they've all come in this exact direction
04:39Three from Gale, three from Hynes, so problems straight away for India
04:44But the West Indies off to the best possible start in chasing this total of 291
04:52Glorious this time of the front foot
04:55Now this is hit with tremendous power. Not only is the ball finding the boundary
05:00It is finding it very quickly
05:03This is an early wake-up call for the Indians
05:09Well it was in the air for a while
05:12It pierced a very tiny gap in the offside field. He's got Gale on strike
05:22The best advice I can give to him from here is to try to bowl as straight as possible not giving the batsman any room
05:29I think it's very easy to sit in the commentary box to any of the bowlers in this match on either team
05:35That's driven and it's found a gap
05:38Fractionally over pitched. He's a tall man Gale, he pounces on it
05:44So four boundaries now for Gale, four for Hynes
05:47Well at this rate, we'll be completely after 40 overs
05:52You're finding the gaps every single time
05:56I think Ian you mentioned a little while earlier Harbhajan Singh might get a ball early on
06:00There's no question about that. I think spin will have to be introduced early
06:0536 for no loss
06:07Srinath continuing
06:13As many as eight boundaries already hit by these two batsmen
06:23Gale's got the ball
06:26He's got the ball
06:29He's got the ball
06:32He's got the ball
06:35Three boundaries came in that Srinath's last over
06:45That's a fine shot
06:48That's it. Ramrod straight down the ground
06:57Well, if you're going to get hit before you don't want it to be a no ball as well
07:00Because it's five and then you have to bowl this over again
07:04This is what you were referring to Ravi Shastri
07:06If they drive the ball straight down the ground nicely
07:09And if it's short, they also pull
07:11So that is tremendous pressure on this young man
07:14I don't think he would have encountered this before
07:20That's it. Slower delivery
07:24He's put that into the crowd Wavell Hynes
07:28He picked it up. He had time to adjust
07:31And a nice full bat swing
07:38So the young man here getting an early taste of international cricket
07:42That's a meaty blow
07:45Well if I were Balaji
07:47I'd be looking towards myself and saying
07:49Please bring Abhijan on
07:51Because I cannot sustain
07:54Or cannot take this punishment anymore
07:56He went through with the shot quite nicely
08:03That's gone past the offside ring
08:05Into the boundary
08:07That's the problem if you give with outside the off stump with this field
08:11I think what Balaji needs is someone to run up to him
08:16And have a chat as to what line to bowl with this field
08:20I think Rahul Dravid has sprinted all the way to Saurav Ganguly
08:23Telling him there's no point bowling this field
08:26The best line I reckon is what Ian said a little while earlier
08:30He's got to try and bowl straight
08:36There's been one change made now
08:38Third man's dropped back to a normal third man position
08:42Long on's come up to mid-on
08:44Young Balaji
08:49Srinath trying to claw back and gain the advantage for his side
08:52He's bowling well here
08:55He got in for some early punishment as well
08:57Javagal Srinath
08:58But he's experienced
08:59He knows what he has to do to try and correct that
09:02And he has been doing a pretty good job of it
09:04In the last eight balls or so
09:07I was thinking of Balaji as well Sanjay
09:09I don't think it would do any harm to have Srinath at mid-on or mid-off beside him
09:13Inside him
09:21Yuvraj Singh with the fumble at point
09:24Always a good run if it's going to Yuvraj Singh right
09:29I think that is why Chris Gill was quite anxious to get that single
09:32Mabel Hines responded
09:35He's left handed so he has to get right around the ball
09:43Over the top
09:46And seems like he's got enough back
09:48It was a completely missed time short
09:50But still good enough for a four
09:56Just seemed to slice off the outer half of the bat
10:00I get the impression he was trying to hit straight back down the ground here
10:03Mabel Hines
10:05Of course he is a powerful young man
10:07Gets enough back on the ball
10:09It will fly off
10:11And over the inner circle
10:14That's certainly an improvement they would want to make
10:21Sanjay Bangar gets a welcome that is not entirely unexpected
10:28We saw the Indians do this as well
10:30When they were batting
10:32Looking for the boundary early in the over
10:34And then taking singles
10:36Picking up six, seven runs on over easily
10:39Well not even Uncle Les is awake to watch those
10:43It's up in the air
10:44But will fall in no man's land
10:46May also go all the way
10:50Just pull back in
10:53Indian captain does the job
10:54Just a couple of runs for Chris Gill
11:03Didn't time it very well at all Chris Gill
11:05Perhaps he tipped the bottom of the bat
11:06I think he perhaps came off a bit slower than he expected
11:10And as we said earlier it's a war zone here
11:14And it continues for Wavell Hines
11:16This is a good clean hit
11:18Well clear of the ropes
11:19Hands go up
11:21And another six
11:24Straight down the ground
11:26That was a good shot
11:28Kuljabagal Srinath
11:29The last two overs weren't bad
11:31Overs at all
11:32Wavell Hines this time looking to hit straight down the ground
11:35And this time connecting
11:36Wavell Hines this time looking to hit straight down the ground
11:38And this time connecting
11:40With the full face of the bat
11:45It was an unfortunate lady
11:47In the flight of that ball
11:50No one was gallant enough to take the catch
11:53So she suffered
12:00And again he's gone square on the offside
12:03And that wasn't a good ball from Srinath
12:07So 11 runs so far from the Srinath over
12:10The last two overs were very good
12:12But again he's suffering
12:15First two overs went for 18
12:17And his next two went for 5
12:19But I think
12:21West Indies opening batsmen are looking to redress that balance again
12:26Chris Gill on this occasion
12:33Sweep shot
12:34Played well
12:35Just bouncing inside the rope
12:38Another boundary for Wavell Hines
12:44There is Amano
12:46Deep on the leg side waiting for the sweep
12:48But Wavell Hines was very good with that shot
12:50It started off just in front of square
12:52Landed just behind square
12:59And that will bring up his 50
13:02No more to Wavell Hines
13:03He moves on to 52
13:05And it's one of the quicker 50s that we've seen in the series
13:08Just the 32 balls
13:13A strike rate of 162.5 for Wavell Hines
13:17And that was a good shot to bring up that 50 again
13:20Flatter delivery from Harbhajan Singh
13:22Spinning across him
13:23Gave himself the room to hit it fully offside
13:26His 9th half century in this form of the game
13:32Some runs there
13:33And Harbhajan would be pleased
13:3510-0 is gone
13:3686 for no wicket
13:42And he gets so welcomed that we're beginning to get used to
13:50He used to keep on concentrating on the last ball
13:53In the over to see if he could go for 4
13:55After 5 good deliveries
13:58But seemingly
13:59The emphasis has now changed
14:01As far as West Indies batsmen are concerned
14:03They are now looking for the first ball to hit the boundary
14:06There she goes
14:08This is the biggest
14:09That we've seen today
14:11The third one
14:12And the biggest
14:21This was well struck again by Wavell Hines
14:23Not a great deal of spin there for Berinda Sehwag
14:26Just playing right through the line
14:28That went a long way
14:30Very long
14:32Both were powerful hitters of the ball
14:34Wavell Hines and Chris Gay
14:39And anybody who's at the ground
14:41Outside the ground
14:42Better keep their eyes on the ball
14:49That's an afterthought
14:50Appealing Harbhajan Singh
14:54Well it's the age old phrase
14:57He won't die wandering Harbhajan Singh
15:00His appealing reminds me of the driving here in India
15:02You do anything
15:04No rule, no regulation
15:07Anywhere the ball goes you appeal
15:13It was also close to being called a wide
15:15So maybe he got away with that
15:19That should be 4 leg buys or buys
15:234 wides
15:25And brings up the 100 for West Indies
15:27103 for Nowicket
15:30Fired that one in Harbhajan Singh
15:33And fired it in down the leg side
15:35Not something you should be doing when you have
15:37A wicketkeeper that's not a specialist
15:40But nowhere near to that Rahul Dabit
15:42Can't say I really blame him
15:44He's certainly not a specialist wicketkeeper
15:47103 in the 12th over
15:52He's taken the aerial route again
15:53And Murali Karthik has been tested there
15:55Where has it landed?
15:57Has it landed on the rope?
16:01It looked like it could travel
16:03One bounce to Murali Karthik
16:05He was getting around to his right hand side
16:07He's not sure
16:11Well it either landed on the rope
16:13Or over the rope
16:14Certainly didn't bounce in front of the rope
16:16Over the rope
16:17That's 6
16:20Just needed one angle
16:22To get that confirmation
16:24And again the arms go up
16:26And again it's wayward
16:29And again it's Wavell Hines
16:30Who's hit a 6
16:37More runs
16:38It's a quick outfield
16:39It beats Ganguly
16:40And again a good start to the over
16:43This Indian attack is getting a real caning
16:45At the hands of these two openers
16:48And West Indies
16:49Bang on target
16:51They've reduced their required run rate
16:53Down into under 5 runs per over
16:54And that's significant
16:57It certainly is
16:58And you can just see the strategy
16:59Is that you're trying to get a boundary
17:02The first one or two deliveries of an over
17:05Then it sets you up
17:06Takes that pressure off
17:12Go through for the single and get it
17:13And what they've done
17:14They've done it exactly right
17:15Especially in this part of the world
17:20That's smashed away
17:21Excellent footwork
17:22That is fractionally short
17:23But so quickly
17:24Goes Hines onto that back foot
17:26And he got the placement right
17:28He had that extra bit of time
17:31This is well played
17:34You just get the seems too
17:35The snowball effect of this batting
17:38The momentum of it
17:39Just keeps gathering pace
17:41It's incredible
17:43And I like the way they've welcomed
17:44Harbhajan Singh to the crease
17:49That's edge put down
17:50The opportunity was there
17:53He was beaten in the flight
17:57Got the outside edge
17:58And Lakshman putting that down
18:01The shake of the bowler's head
18:03Said it all
18:05Deceived in the flight
18:07And the bounce was good
18:08Lakshman got there
18:10And I'm afraid that is regulation
18:12The opportunity comes along
18:14And he gets tripped up
18:17And he goes for the big one
18:20And
18:22Just clears Srinath
18:23In fact Srinath takes the catch
18:24And goes over the lane
18:28So he starts off with a six
18:30Just when I said
18:32The time has come to milk the ball
18:35Where will Hines?
18:36Here's other ideas
18:40Oh fantastic isn't it here
18:42Because that guy's not a big ground
18:44But it's still a big blow
18:46Under it
18:47Good technique
18:48Good technique
18:50From Javagal Srinath
18:52But there again we see
18:54Hines or Gale
18:56Wanting to hit a boundary
18:58Off the first or second ball
19:00And he holds on to this nicely Javagal
19:02But runs out of room
19:12Must have been a hair too inside
19:15Fourteen and fifteen overs
19:19Think about two
19:20Won't get it
19:27Again firmly struck down the ground
19:29Gale will look for two
19:32And get it comfortably
19:35And he had his share of luck
19:37That way with Hines
19:38Lakshman putting a catch down
19:40That was in Harbhajan's previous over
19:43One thirty one for no loss
19:49Hey
19:53And he goes for another one
19:54He stoppages it this time
19:56The catch taken
19:57By Saurav Ganguly
20:00And finally India breakthrough
20:04Saurav he's done the damage
20:06Done the trick
20:08For his skipper
20:10And finally
20:12This partnership is broken
20:14Must put it here
20:16And Hines
20:17He wanted to smash this again
20:18Out of the ground
20:19And he's just succeeded
20:20In top edging it
20:22Skipper takes it
20:23He's gone for eighty
20:24One thirty two for one
