Keeping up with the RR, just need to get to about 12 overs without losing another wicket, tall order.

I'm assuming that these three wickets have put us a mile behind DL. But given that there are dark clouds, it might not be that we're chasing 212. Would be somewhat funny if we found ourselves ahead of DL in, say, three overs time - thanks to Rilee going made - and it chucks it down.

I know you shouldn't give up on a match, but in all honestly, we'd probably benefit more (for the longer term of the competition) from Alsop, Dawson and McManus getting some time at the crease and putting bad balls away - rather than trying to smash everything in chasing the target, and getting out.
 
Huge risk that from Kent, which I guess you say paid off. Lewis was hitting the spinners, but not the seamers, so bringing Denly on was a risk.
 
As I recall, Stevenson can hold a bat. Not to the same level as Abbott, but more so than someone like Wood.
 
Just needed to use his brain. No need for the big shot there.

Realistically it was the last over of spin he was going to get. So I'm fine with him trying to get as much off it as possible. He's so much better against spin than seam.

We're an over behind. One of these three overs needs to go for at least 15, but probably more like 20.
