The chase
Sumit Raj Padal anchored the innings with a composed 41, while a late cameo from the lower order pulled the game out of the fire. The dressing-room cheer was, by all accounts, heard from across the oval.
The vibe
"Brothers don't fold," joked the captain after stumps. "We're never out of a game until the last ball is bowled. That's the BUCC way."
