No Barnard (injured), no Yates (unclear). Beau will captain.

Ed Barnard has been struggling with his back injury for several weeks, and did well to keep playing

Hopefully the absence of Yates does not lead to a recall for Davies who has done nothing to justify a place in the squad. You can not expect to win games if you are playing a specialist batsman with an average of just 3.5.

No Tariq either

Good luck Hamza Shaikh

Did the feed stop working for anyone else? All of the second innings? Probably worth a break, it was a frustrating game!

Can't get our innings live stream, ok for theirs, is it me?

They have posted an internet problem around the ground affecting scoreboard as well. Looking at score perhaps it's like that for our benefit!

I managed to find a commentary in Hindi and a picture of the ground between innings but not much else.

Excellent recovery from Kai and Hain

And an excellent win.

At 49/5 the last thing you expect is a 100 partnership! So annoyed the gremlins stopped us from seeing it. If only we had won one of the first 5 games.

That's not the first time Kai Smith has come in with us in strife and got us out of a hole.

Looked at Kai's contributions this camapign. Averaging 37 but only two catches. Probably the nature of the game. Hope that sets him up nicely for the metro bank. Shame couldn't get more out of Hamza and Jani (though couldn't fault that latter's strike rate). From what I saw a very odd game though seemed both teams were over it. Still some results to come in but looks like our group was the strongest
