Possibly a match winning partnership, made even more irritating by the decisions both by the umpire and the captain.

Even if we tidy these up for under 300 we don't look like a side that can get enough in the 3rd.

More so by the decision making by our own batsmen. Getting 275 minimum batting first on this track should have been not too difficult and would put is in the box seat with them batting last. I agree though bowling changes straight after lunch and tea were poor imo.

Yeah, but the 1st innings has gone. From 80/4 we had them on the back foot and gave it away, the momentum shift from there killed us.

It's still on, even now. We bat down to 9 the pitch has held together so far, it's just that we looked shot to bits and there's nothing to suggest we have two or three who will stand up and get us to 300+.
