FOUR! Just a push and it races away. That brings up the HUNDRED for Aaron George. After a barren run across the last three games coming into this one, Aaron has come to the party in a pressure game.

Hits it flat and straight to the sub fielder, Nazif Amiri at backward point, who takes the catch around his waist. George walks off for 115 (104) with the finishing line in sight for his team.
