Spirit vs Fire, 24th Match at London, Men's Hundred, Aug 24 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary

yorker on leg stump, Sodhi misses a flick and an lbw shout is upheld. Was really a shin high full toss at the point of contact that Sodhi missed. Might've been worth a review at a different stage of the game because contact may have been outside leg stump but a reversal here would've only amounted to no run regardless and no ability to rebowl the delivery.

good length wide outside off, toe-slapped to long-on for one.

yorker on middle cleans him up! Du Plooy went for an audacious reverse sweep against the pace bowler but Wood's yorker was spot on.

full and wide, goes to heave this over long-on for one.

length ball angled across the wide guideline outside off, this time Critchley gets bat on this but only a thick edge with a waft and it carries through to Rossington behind the stumps diving to his right.

wide yorker, Critchley misses a drive but the umpire says it was out of the guidelines. Replays show it's a very poor call, especially as Critchley took guard outside off stump and the ball passed inside the guideline regardless.

full and wide, hammers a laser of a drive flat over extra cover and just beats the sweeper's diving effort on the rope.

Biggest hit of the night! Full on the legs, flicked into the third tier over backward square leg! Basic flick but he's timed the daylights out of this ball.

in the slot on seventh stump, this time Critchley latches on with a drive cleanly and clears the rope at long-off.

length ball wide outside off, swatted in the air well short of long-off and they come back for two again.

full on off, chips this in the air but well short of Crane at long-on and they come back for two.

slower length ball wide outside off, almost off the pitch, and Du Plooy swings over it. Du Plooy had shuffled well outside off to play at the ball but it was still quite some ways away. Deemed legal though. Du Plooy is incredulous.

full on the stumps, shuffled all the way outside the stumps before swinging the front leg back in front of the stumps to heave for midwicket but misses. Struck on the knee right in front of middle, lbw shout upheld. Du Plooy calls for a review. This was definitely hitting the stumps. Only doubt was if it pitched in line or outside leg stump. Ball-tracking shows it pitched outside leg stump. Du Plooy survives.

short and wide, slapped out to the cover sweeper for a sharp two.

slower wide yorker, goes to drive this and it comes off a thick edge and skittles on two bounces to the keeper.

full and wide, driven to long-off for one.

slower length ball on the body, Pretorius goes to heave this over the leg side but miscues this and it flutters toward wide long-on standing 15 yards inside the rope. Ellis takes a simple catch at head height.

goes for wide yorker and ends up as a knee high full toss on the wide guideline slapped to long-off for one.

full on eighth stump, shuffles way outside his stumps to heave this into the leg side flat over wide long-on and clears the rope.

good length ball wide outside off, slices this high over backward point. Deep third fielder runs along the rope but can't get there to stop this and it just lands over the rope.

length ball on the stumps, heaved into deep midwicket for one.
