While our approach yesterday was enterprising and bold it also presented NZ with chances. Tamim hit in the air more often than not and slashed one just out of 2nd slips grasp. Zunaed offered a slip catch and is very lucky to get the reprieve. A flashy century would look good on paper but it's not enough to save the game for us. We need Tamim to not only score runs but also bat time and sessions. To draw the match we have to play at least three more sessions. Nothing less will suffice. And with our propensity to implode out of nowhere, it remains a very tall order indeed.
