Can't decide whether I want Atkinson to be protecting Tongue or not.

I'm not sure Atkinson can win this in boundaries alone.
 
That over is sort of why I can't decide what I want Atkinson to do. Take the single, and Tongue feels like a sitting duck. But don't take the single, and 19 runs is a long way away.

I think they should be trying to defend the Siraj overs and attack the other ones
 
But another over or two like that, and I'll have my answer. We won't win this by Atkinson taking a single early in the over, and then Tongue attempting to survive four or five balls.
 
Well now Atkinson knows he can't take any singles, except off the last ball.

And if he doesn't get that single, he might only have one over to face.
