62.4
Kamrul Islam to Vijay, no run, brings this one closer to the stumps, Vijay stands tall and defends it
62.3

61.6
T Islam to Vijay, 1 run, drops it shorter outside off, Vijay is crease-bound, plays it very late towards short third man
61.5
T Islam to Vijay, FOUR, he didn't time it too well but still manages to earn a boundary. A tossed up delivery on the stumps, Vijay's eyes light up, he went hard on that, the bat face turned in his hand and he somehow gets it away past mid-on
61.4
T Islam to Vijay, no run, shorter in length, Vijay waits in the crease and plays it with an angled blade towards cover
61.3

60.5
Kamrul Islam to Vijay, no run, tad fuller just outside off, driven firmly to mid-off
60.4
Kamrul Islam to Vijay, no run, ooh, this one comes back in a touch, Vijay jabbed at it from the crease, gets an inside edge onto his pad
60.3
Kamrul Islam to Vijay, 2 runs, there it is! Vijay raises his 9th Test hundred. The hands go up in the air, off comes the helmet and a calm salute of the bat to soak in the applause. Virat walks up and congratulates the Tamil Nadu batsman. Coming to the ball, it was short and outside off, Vijay made room and forced it through cover. Was nearing the ropes but the fielder from cover gave the chase and pulled it back to deny Vijay a boundary. "Take a bow," gushes Sanjay Manjrekar on air
60.2
Kamrul Islam to Kohli, 1 run, 134kph, homing in on middle and leg, tucked away behind square on the leg-side
59.5

57.4
T Islam to Vijay, no run, a lunging defence, much more settled
57.3
T Islam to Vijay, no run, hard on the drive. Loses quite a bit of his shape in the process. Wasn't quite wide to be flayed away anyway. Gets it off the inside fraction of the bat
57.2
T Islam to Kohli, 1 run, gets Vijay back on strike for four balls to get to his landmark. With a closed batted tuck off the back foot behind square
56.5
Mehedi Hasan to Kohli, 1 run, short once again. Makes it look worse with a slide behind to whip it off a high bat
56.2
Mehedi Hasan to Kohli, 1 run, leaning into the drive. Too elegant to fetch just a single. There is extra cover to cut these off
55.5
Taskin Ahmed to Kohli, 1 run, digs in in. And for a change it climbs and makes Kohli play. Nicely done with a pull to keep it all along the ground
54.1
Mehedi Hasan to Kohli, 1 run, moves in ninety degrees - going back, across and nudges it behind square
53.5
Taskin Ahmed to Vijay, no run, back of a length delivery making Vijay play this time. Responded with a standing blunt
53.4
Taskin Ahmed to Vijay, no run, a high rise of the bat this time. Trusting the line around the fifth stump to leave it alone
53.3
Taskin Ahmed to Vijay, no run, streaky. A nothing shot from Vijay. And couple that with a nothing defence. Bumped in half way down the track and it hardly climbs up. Vijay stands with his bat held in the air, and in the end somehow manages to get his wrists away in time
53.2
Taskin Ahmed to Vijay, no run, late inward tail, off a good length on this occasion. More of the monk like leaves after shuffling across
53.1
Taskin Ahmed to Vijay, no run, goes short. But without the fizz off the wicket. Dies by the time the loopy bouncer goes to the keeper after Vijay refuses to get involved
52.6
Mehedi Hasan to Kohli, no run, some float up in the air. Makes Kohli wait on his front leg before he could execute his along the carpet wrist
52.3
Mehedi Hasan to Vijay, no run, the bat comes down in front of the pad and adjusts at the last moment to settle for a knock back
52.2
Mehedi Hasan to Kohli, 1 run, a pushy defence into the off-side. And there is no one square to stop the single from being stolen
51.6
Taskin Ahmed to Kohli, no run, scoots through. Could have found one of those cracks. Kohli looks to close his bat face and tuck it away. The leading edge landing in no man's land in the cover region comes to his rescue
51.1
Taskin Ahmed to Vijay, FOUR, full, wide and swinging away further. One of those baits. Vijay looks to reach out without bothering to move his feet. His lick comes to his rescue taking the toe end to run away into the fence past the lone slip
50.6
Mehedi Hasan to Kohli, FOUR, not a bad way to get started. With the crowd screaming his name, Kohli gets a long hop in welcome. Slaps it away in glee
50.1
Mehedi Hasan to Vijay, no run, the round armer from wide of the crease, a sturdy defence follows
49.6

48.6
Mehedi Hasan to Pujara, no run, jumpy skip down, and drills it hard. Only as far as mid-off
48.1
Mehedi Hasan to Vijay, FOUR, the away slanter from round the wicket. Free runs these with barely a soul behind square. Short, asking to be cut and not disappointed. Late and creamed with the placement past the lone slip
47.6

47.4
T Islam to Vijay, no run, glides deep, uses his entire frame to good effect as he stands tall and straight bats it away
47.3
T Islam to Pujara, 1 run, calls early. And keeps running. Successfully. Courtesy - a charging whippy drive to mid-on to take him on
46.1
Mehedi Hasan to Vijay, no run, just the hint of width. Not quite the turn he would have liked as Vijay looks to run it down to third man. Misses the connection with his dab

Taskin Ahmed to Vijay, no run, superbly played by Vijay. This short delivery was directed at his chest and was veering in all the time. But he saw it till the last moment and then arched his back and left it alone. Bent his back as far as he could. That's the way to play the short ball at the body
4.4
