Easily the most entertaining opening pair in the world, both have the skills to make the brutal pull shot look beautiful.

True that he has perished to the pull of late, but still it is a folly to bowl short at him, not least on a ground with true bounce and short boundaries. The next ball, Ferguson shortened the length and widened the line, only for Gill to dab it down the third man for a four. Gill, fresh from a double hundred, dished out some gorgeous strokes, none as striking as the six he laced over extra-cover off Santner, nothing more than a front-foot stride, a back-foot shuffle to play the ball inside out and then a clean free swing of his bat. It was just the sixth time the pair has opened, but already they are hitting off like best friends. Soon after, he punished Michael Bracewell’s floaty off-breaks, hitting for a six and a four to enter his 90s. By the 15th over, it shot to 8.5, thanks to the introduction of Mitchell Santner, who Sharma welcomed with two sixes in three balls. and Daryl Mitchell, who Sharma greeted with a rare paddle sweep, followed by two fours in the next three balls. The ball was just about over-pitched, Rohit took a half-stride, met the ball on the rise and just played it through the gaps. Only when it is at least chest-high that he unfurls the pull and the hook. The off-driven six of Duffy in fifth over was a thing of pure beauty, a shot that could be described in isolation. Duffy was extracting bounce on the quickest and bounciest surface in the series. But with Tendulkar, you expect him to be in the perfect position to play the stroke.

Watch: In the third ODI against New Zealand, Shubman Gill played some exquisite shots to take 22 in an over from Lockie Ferguson.

The last ball was probably not quite as short, but Gill cut it past extra-cover to take the aggregate for the over to 22. Gill got the fourth hundred soon afterwards before Blair Tickner got him for an 78-ball 113. The first ball of the eighth over was neither too wide, nor too short, but Gill watched it intently and drilled it past mid-off for four.
