The equation was eleven off the last over, and it looked comfortable until two dot balls turned it into six off two. What followed was a slog sweep that cleared deep midwicket by a metre and a scrambled single that finished on a dive.
The captain credited a middle-order partnership that consumed pressure rather than runs, adding 44 off 38 without a single boundary in the middle overs.
The bowling side will review the final over field: a deep point who was three metres too square, and a yorker length that drifted twice.
