Jason Holder along with the debutant Joshua Da Silva put a crucial 74-run stand for the seventh wicket to keep the visitors still alive in the game. At one stage, it was looking improbable after the disastrous fall of wickets at regular intervals. But Holder and Da Silva have batted well and still played some eye-catching shots, played and missed a few times but they have hung in there.
