At least two more of those would be useful in the last four balls of the innings...

[Donsteppa]

Try bowling inside the wide lines and you won't get called, Nasser.

Fun end. 164. Not so bad.

[Donsteppa]

163 feels like about a par score, but I'll take that after the top 4 had a nice ODI hit out in the sun.

[No Quarter]

Good finish on a pretty slow pitch. Bowlers have no excuses to not defend that total.

[Canes4life]

Good effort by Neesham and Phillips in the end there after a sluggish first 16 or so overs.

Should be able to defend this.

Smit’s economy rate in that last over wasn’t too bad, 18 runs off 10 balls

[Godder]

5 wides in the last over was handy.

yep i still feel that is an accurate assessment even though a tough pitch, hoping our spinners are miserly

[Donsteppa]

Need a couple of early wickets.

Milne getting smashed
anyone getting nervous?

Milne is a curious selection in the UAE for mine. We have one too many pace bowlers - and Jamieson can bat and field well if Milne is going to get hit around... Though I'd probably still have Siefert in for Milne.

A big game looms for Sodhi and Santner.

[Donsteppa]

What we are seeing is just how much our top six fluffed around in not getting the innings going until the very end.

[Donsteppa]

Neesh the early saviour with the ball too. Where's @Chris-B when you need him?

[Donsteppa]

Big spell from Sodhi needed... and as I type that he strikes

Nice take by Conway.

[booboo]

Bed time folks. Have good news for me on the morning.

[bayimports]

falcon by sodhi, not sure that will help, that looks like it hurt

[bayimports]

great over by Southee when really needed

[bayimports]

Boult also follows up with a misery over, should be hard to beat from here

[ARHS]

Well bowled Southee and Boult. But we need to beat Afghanistan now after two mediocre performances v Scotland and Namibia.
