Gilly on course to break Viv's record

[Rajiv]

106.6 Panesar to Gilchrist, SIX 106.5 Panesar to Gilchrist, FOUR 106.4 Panesar to Gilchrist, SIX 106.3 Panesar to Gilchrist, SIX, shouts of 'Catch' which I hope can be heard from the man in Row V. He comes down the track, eyes bulging and straight drives that like a rocket. Seeing it like a football, hitting it like a golf ball. Spectators look out 106.2 Panesar to Gilchrist, 2 runs, fifty this time and that's well-driven through cover. That fifty came up in just 40 deliveries, his fastest Test fifty and it's a blink-and-you've-missed-it one. Shame if you did... 106.1 Panesar to Gilchrist, no run, that's wide and Gilchrist reaches out, a long stride, to defend on the front foot

Re: Gilly on course to break Viv's record Fell short by just ONE ball !! Viv got a hundred off 56, and Gilly did it in 57. He won't care though, 'cos Australia will be winning this comfortably. What a sensational finish to the innings ! He also scored his fastest ever 50 - off just 40 deliveries.
