Ngarava first ballll let's go

[Andy31]

Blinked and i missed. What a start

[Googly]

What a jaffer!! How did that miss???

Looks like Campher is going to play his shots. Need Blessing to really steam in here and make this uncomfortable. I feel Newman won't quite have the same impact due to his height, or lack thereof

It was so important to get to 299 because the psychological scoreboard pressure changes when it's 300 that they need to get, every dot ball puts the pressure on. Still think maybe 320 was needed on this pitch though.

[Andy31]

Just a a few bad balls an over.

i reckon once the field goes out and the spinners come on, it will be difficult.

[sloandog]

This is really poor from Ngarava

[tgk]

Disastrous start to the over...
