John: "Strange cricket when what should be an easy 8 runs per over is playing as hard as 16 runs per over would in another league." It's purely pressure, there's no way conditions are tricky enough to make such hard work of this chase

low full toss, slapped down the ground for a single
slashes this one through point for another single
