What a great effort by the Scotland boys in Nairobi. After months of Pete Steindl run indoor nets and some Tony Judd inspired outdoor catching drills in –4 degree temperatures, this relatively inexperienced Scotland team arrived in Kenya after just a week of outdoor preparation in Pretoria.

After an incredible first morning effort by the four-pronged seam attack of Nel, Goudie, Drummond and Berrington to dismiss Kenya for just 91, Scotland can sniff victory on the final day. However, two old cliches come to mind after day three - “so near yet so far” or "there's plenty of cricket left in this game."

Crucial to the outcome of this game will be the early wicket of Maurice Ouma, the Kenyan wicketkeeper who has just hit his third first class ton. He’s a typical wicketkeeper batsman who can score runs quickly in unorthodox areas. It used to be a good challenge bowling to him when he opened in one-day games.

Ouma will be hoping his tailenders can hang about and scramble as many runs as possible while he aims to hog the strike and hit boundaries. That won’t be easy against Scotland's seamers who are all very accurate. Their performances in this game shows that their confidence is high and more importantly, working well as a unit.

Ouma holds the key to tomorrow’s outcome. Get him early and Scotland are well on their way to maintaining their ICup top of the table status, but if the little keeper belts a few and Kenya’s tail wags, Scotland may well be chasing one of those awkward “in-between” totals between 150-200 on a fourth day pitch.

I’m hoping our bowlers can muster a massive effort in the morning session. If wickets don’t fall, it’s important that our guys stay patient. If you bowl to a plan and set the right fields, the wickets will come.

If Scotland do end up needing one of those awkward totals, then step forward our top three of Kyle Coetzer, Dougie Lockhart and Qasim Sheikh. Kyle can hit good balls for four and he also has the skill and big game experience to sap all momentum out of a possible Kenyan revival. Dougie and Qasim are gritty, stubborn fighters who will never give their wicket away.

The stage is set for a number of different climaxes. Let’s just hope Scotland get a win, whatever it takes.
