Was it good? Was it a classic openers shot? I missed it and they haven't replayed it

3.6 Rahat Ali to Utseya, FOUR, full outside off, Utseya leans forward and cashes in on the length. It's driven through the covers for four.

looked better than that description but i'm feeling a bit one-eyed atm

Stupid shot by Utseya...

You know what, he only made 5 but I think he sort of did his job there. It's taken 5 overs worth of shine off the ball, and while it would have been nice to take another 5 or even 10 off... he's not an opener.

Mneh.

no worse than the one immediately before .. but he isn't an opener and it's now 77/1 so no real harm done

I agree ... and the pair lasted longer than the first pair in the first innings (even if Pk got lucky then)

What do you reckon a target that we can defend is?

If we make 185 in the second innings... so a 4th innings target of around 250... I reckon we could have a game on our hands.

A good partnership early on would go a long way towards achieving that.
