I'm so glad Williams was able to return to form. The Gods must have been looking down on him today, who would have ever bet on Dabengwa being dropped to allow Williams to stay in the side.

Who would have thought we could have recovered from 6/47 to get to 161. I think we probably needed 180-200 to go into the second innings as favourites to win, but on this pitch there have been a lot of low scores so chasing 161 at least gives us a match and a chance at sealing the series.

Responsible batting by Williams and Utseya, they showed that this is the pitch you have to graft on. Once you are in, as Williams showed in the later stages of his knock, the singles come easily and also the boundaries.

Loved Price's celebration after he reverse swept.
