Utseya to Lara, SIX runs
Lara finishes it off in style. Obviously , he doesn't want to mope around in the pavilion for the lunch break. Glides down the track, to the pitch, and deposits it over long-on.

Utseya to Lara, SIX runs
There you go, he waltzs down the track and lofts it over widish long-on.
8 runs needed. Will Lara try to stamp his authority against Utseya. Barring that first ball four, he has not been allowed to get away against the parsimonious offspinner.
