Geez, Mutumbami out for a golden duck
I can't help but feel he might have been selected a bit early. But I guess with Chakabva injured there were no other options without giving the gloves to Taylor.

The tail needs to stick around with Taylor. Robiul is on fire...

at 6/339 we are depending on Cremer and Taylor again. Hope they can deliver another 50 stand.

Yeah. A bit of pressure on Taylor here - again. I don't agree that the game is safe yet, there's still two whole days left after today.

But yeah, if these two can stick around and just push it up to 400 that's a good psychological boost.

having batted for two sessions in their first innings (and with a deserved rep for lack of patience) - it'd be a brave man to place a bet on BD chasing down that in any amount of time. but 400 is a psychologically tough target for sure

Would love to make it to 420 to make them chase a record.

Taylor's got a high strike rate in this innings. Runs are to be had on this pitch which makes me nervous about anything less than 400-420. If a Shakib or an Ashraful puts on a quickfire hundred suddenly any target doesn't look so big.

I'd be quite happy to see Taylor and Cremer batting well into tomorrow morning. If Cremer can continue his form with the bat and put on a steady 20 or 30, Taylor keeps doing what he's doing at the other end... then I'd feel a lot more comfortable.

The next target is not to have the lowest score in the match. We're still 40 off that.

Robiul going awesome, but he may be bowling himself into the ground here.

Well runs are there for Taylor but no one else has managed many. Obviously the more runs the better it's just that I like watching the team I support bowl rather than bat ... declaration time!!:)

I like the way Cremer bats.
