Malinga losing the battle. The battle of the bulge.

 
Narper 2019-07-06 13:44:21 

Rahul and Rohit are at the crease.
Rahul is on strike.
Malinga will open the attack

Malinga losing the battle. The battle of the bulge.


Naaah...that is ho shape...you see when he pull up his outer shirt....no real paunch there

I was thinking about Fidel Edwards and why he didn't last as long as Malinga

Malinga to Rohit, FOUR, on the pads! Rohit is taming his MI bowler. That was a poor ball on the pads. Buffet ball and Rohit gobbles the that ball by clipping it through mid-wicket for a four
4.4
Malinga to Rohit, FOUR, full toss? yes, it was. Gift given. Gift accepted. That was a full toss outside off and Rohit just opened the face of the bat to time it past the man at point for a four

 
Narper 2019-07-06 14:08:48

Rajitha to Rohit, FOUR, this man is only getting better! Length outside off and Rohit opened the bat face on impact to thread it between point and cover for a four

Malinga to Rahul, no run, good over! Has gazed the pace of the track and bowled another slower delivery. Rahul just timed the ball on the up to find mid-off. Maiden over

 
Narper 2019-07-06 14:28:24 

9.6
Rajitha to Rahul, FOUR, what.a.shot! Gets down low, waits for the ball and steers it over the keeper for a four. Very well done. Risky but came off

 
Narper 2019-07-06 14:39:37 

12.3
Udana to Rohit, FOUR, a one-handed chip over mid-on and it almost went all the way - don't think Rohit picked the slower ball, but the good thing was he went through with the lofted on-drive, got plenty of height and almost the distance as well

16.1
Dhananjaya de Silva to Rohit, SIX, fifty for Rohit, mid-off was inside the ring and he didn't need a second invitation - gets a good stride forward to a well flighted delivery and lifts it through the line - hit the advertisement board on the full

Rohit Sharma *52 (49

 
Narper 2019-07-06 14:54:26 

16.3
Dhananjaya de Silva to Rohit, SIX, massive, Rohit doesn't want DDS to settle - comes down the track, gets close to the ball and swings it high and over long-on, went a long way over the ropes

Rajitha to Rohit, FOUR, shortish ball, pulled away in front of square on the leg-side and there it is. Magnificent. There's the record fifth century in this World Cup for the Hitman. Take a bow, Rohit Sharma! Headingley is on its feet. A rousing reception from the crowd/team-mates. Rohit removes his helmet and has his arms aloft. A big smile on Kohli's face and the centurion gets a big hug from his opening partner

30.1
Rajitha to Rohit, out Caught by Mathews!! Sri Lanka manage to take a wicket. He is still unhappy. A pitched up delivery at 132kph, shaped away a touch and Rohit ended up chipping it straight to mid-off. He was probably a bit early into his drive. A soft dismissal, in the end. He walks off to a standing ovation and in comes Virat Kohli who congratulates India's vice-captain.

Rajitha to Kohli, FOUR, Kohli gets off the mark with a boundary! A pitched up delivery at 123kph with loads of width on offer. Kohli reaches out with a big stride forward to play a cover-drive. Perfect placement

38.1
Malinga to Rahul, 1 run, hundred for Rahul. "It is something I have to figure out (how to convert a fifty into a ton) in the middle and I am sure it will come to me," Rahul had said after his previous innings. And boy hasn't he figured it out. He did struggle midway through the innings but he battled past it to reach the three-figure mark. First in World Cups and he's got it just before the semifinal. The biggest positive for India going into the final phase.

Lokesh Rahul 100 (109

Sri Lanka review! It is more of we-have-the-review-so-we-will-use type. Fair delivery. Hitting Pant on the back thigh. No bat as UltraEdge has a flat line. Over to ball-tracking. Three Reds. OUT

41.6
Udana to Pant, out Lbw!! Well, it turned out to be a good review in the end. It was taken more in hope.
