I'm just not holding much hope for our batters. Santner is going to be a nuisance on here with his changes in pace. Was really nice to see Williams bowling too. I think he's still a more threatening option than Raza and Vinnie.

Will we survive until the end of play?

Williams mate, premier all rounder

It’s the final over of the I’m worried about . Great fight back from the lads really. Another tricky time to bat damn!! Hopefully at worst 1 down at stumps.

Team should just target to score a 300 at least.

Let’s go!!

Hope to finish off the day unscathed.

Jesus Curran is really scratchy when he starts out isn't he. He leaves well but then has that stupid waft outside off stump. He just needs to survive through to tomorrow and leave as much as he can. He's good square of the wicket but you rarely see him playing much through the covers

Smith being injured gives us some real hope. Need the batters to not capitulate.

[CholeZimbo]

Ben is not showing the right temperament. That wasn’t a good shot to play under the circumstances.

[zimbot]

Curran put out of his misery. No nightwatchman for Welch?

[ZIMFAN]

Can people relate to me when I say I have spent years watching Zim batsmen get out in ways that are like club players??

Of course they get bowled out by great balls and get more than their fair share of roughies. But lots of caught out pulling, no foot movement etc. Just all a bit amateurish

[zimbot]

Fuck! Bennett gone.
