India
(57.2 ov) 244/5

Broad to Pant, 2 runs

gets to the hundred with a dive. Pulls this fine of long leg, comes back for a risky second and makes it with a dive. The helmet is off. Raises his bat. Looks up at the skies. Hugs Jadeja. Acknowledges the generous applause from everyone watching. Hundred No. 5

Broad to Jadeja, 1 run

full and straight, pushed wide of mid-on, and now is the time to pull out the sword. It is a fifty for Jadeja

I sometimes feel like Rishabh Pant gets even more aggressive when he nears a hundred, as if to show that he really doesn't care whether or not he gets there. Just the most fun cricketer there is

Root to Pant, OUT

gone this time! Slower and wider, and he's edged to slip! He wanted his 150 in a single hit, Stokes kept long-on and long-off up, and Root responded by tossing it slower and wider outside off! It's a fat snick and a sharp take, albeit straight at slip, and that's the end of a breathless assault!

RAIN !
