Jamie Smith: After the last few games I have played I have not got the runs I need or the team needed. Went relaxed today and got runs. Clear thinking today and what needs to be done, score boundaries and get as many as we can. We don't know how many we need on this. Keep it simple and the message is always been clear and try to get as many as you can. A bit of pace off and a bit of hold, one bigger side as well, so makes it easier to defend. We defended a couple of scores and hopefully we can defend again today. We will be hoping the UAE spinners do their job today.
