Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 3rd Match at Bloemfontein, , Feb 10 2003 - Ball by Ball Commentary

but it's one too many this time around, shorter ball, pulls it hard and high, but lofts it straight down to Vaas running in from deep backward square leg, completing a comfortable catch

he goes for another one, this time miscuing it high over midwicket, landing short of the outfielders running in, pitches in the deep and they hurry back for a second, moves into 2nd position on the all-time New Zealand ODI innings list, and is the highest individual score on this ground

great shot! down the track to a flighted ball, gets it on the half volley, smashes it hard, high and handsome a long, long way over long on!

gives it plenty of air, tossing it up very full and straight, watchfully pushes it towards wide midwicket in defence

flighted up outside off stump, leans out to defend it with bat/pad

shortish ball turning in from outside off stump, pokes it away through towards deep cover point

and now on his own in that position, flatter ball outside off stump, chipped away down towards wide long on, Bond hurries back to grab a second run as the throw is fired back to the bowler's end

and he goes again and hits it even further, great clean sweep shot over deep square leg, moves into 3rd equal place for highest ODI innings for New Zealand

shot! Styris is keen to enjoy himself to the very end, picking up his 4th six of the innings, flighted up full outside off stump, slog/sweeps it high over midwicket, just clearing the fielder on the rope

shapes to come forward to a flatter, slower ball outside off stump, hangs back, watchfully defending it down in close on the leg side

advances to a flighted ball outside off stump, lofting it over wide midwicket, chips it into wide open space in the deep, long on around to field

flighted up nicely outside off stump, leans forward, watchfully pushing it back to the bowler in defence

one to go, well flighted outside off stump, held it right back, Tuffey reaches forward at it, gets a faint edge through to Sangakarra who juggles it, breaking the stumps as he grabs it on the second go

flighted up on the legs, goes down on one knee to sweep out to deep backward square leg, brings up the New Zealand 200

oooh! quicker, flat ball on the legs, flicks it straight to short fine leg, tight quick single taken, a shy at the bowler's end just misses with Styris looking short of his ground, goes down to long off to concede an overthrow

flatter ball sliding straight on outside off stump, whips it away out to deep midwicket to retain the strike

tries to sweep a flighted ball from outside off stump but misses, into the pad and balloons away in from of him

flighted up outside off stump, turns in sharply, looks to force it through point but ends up chopping a bottom edge just past off stump and the keeper, down to fine leg

and again goes for a similar shot to a similar delivery, plays it along the ground out to deep backward square leg, dragging it around

tries the exact same shot a similar delivery, just held back ever so slightly, misses, deflects fine off the pad and past the keeper for a couple of leg byes

shot! flighted up full and straight, Styris plays a very effective slog/sweep, picking it up from just outside off stump, swinging it a long way over square leg
