They know if they bowl bouncers at Rana, they too have to take it. I wouldn’t bowl bouncers at Rana because I don’t want to face bouncers at that pace… Now we can reply in kind and that intent is good; we have that bowling strength now.

Nahid’s quality is obviously there and he bowled well according to his plans. But for us, it’s disappointing because at that stage, if the two set batsmen could have batted a bit longer, maybe we could have taken the game towards a draw.
