I think the way we lost our way in the middle overs, they really put the pressure on us. I guess we weren't able to go anywhere, but I think we were reasonably happy with 160 at the turn, but yeah, one of those nights I guess. You come out against a good side and they bowled what they needed to on that wicket, into the wicket with the change of pace. But I think the good stuff with the ball at the start were outstanding. All four of the seamers did a great job on that wicket. So to restrict them to 160, we're pretty happy with that at the turn. And then I think the way we started with the bat powerplay was good. It was just those middle overs I guess really slowed us down a little bit. (plans for tomorrow) I think so. I mean, we're going to be confronted with very similar stuff tomorrow on a very similar wicket. So yeah, I think we'll take the learnings from this game. But again, you've got to move on pretty quickly. You don't want to, I guess, dwell on too much before tomorrow. But I think we'll have a little talk about it now and see if there's anything we can potentially improve on. And then we'll go again tomorrow in another game.
