Match stretches on in characteristic fast pace intrigue
Multiple shades of play painted in skillful touch
Deadlock holds in classic protract within regular play
Riveting spectator along seat edge in ecstatic thrill
touch-line comes alive in sudden frenzy
Applause rents air in intense resounding glory
Reminiscent stir of the substitute
Making his way in
Before all things
