Spirit vs N S-Chargers, 22nd Match at London, Men's Hundred, Aug 20 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

times this one alright! A massive pan through the full length, eyes focussed on the point of impact, hands climbing gleefully up and over deep midwicket. Spirit are extinguished as the run-rate cascades below a run-a-ball

another flog through the line, inside-out and looking for the big launch, but again the timing isn't there

inside-out on the drive to extra cover

donked down the ground! Steps into the length and launched

tapped out to the off-side

fired past the legs. This is going south

Lawrence makes room, Overton follows him, but his moral victory is merely another boundary, skewed away through deep fine leg as the batter contorts into a defensive tangle. Up comes the hundred

on the back foot, clawed away to deep midwicket

bosh! Over-pitched on the toes, yeeted into the stands at midwicket!

walks across to off, flicks up into the length on leg-stump, down to the sweeper behind square

short ball, angled into the body, good contact on the back-cut, down to deep third

reaches for the length ball outside off, clawed to the on-side for another single

steps across the stumps, whips the off-stump line to backward square

guided into the covers again

launched through the line, just over Williamson! He was tracking back at wide mid-off, can't get there, but gathers the backspinning ball well on the bounce

has to aim straighter, it's in the batter's arc, and smoked through the covers. Spirit are fading

too wide, Lawrence was moving again, Wood is miffed

goodness knows how that got to where it did! Crawley pre-empted a slog-sweep, had to waft at the short ball, a top-edge loops away between three converging fielders at short third. And safe!
