Despite watching the bat dominate most of yesterday?s play at King City in, Toronto, Bermuda coach Gus Logie applauded his bowlers for the way they rebounded after being put to the sword.

Bermuda grabbed five wickets in the final session to keep alive their hopes of a successive ICC Intercontinental Cup win over Canada.

Ryan Steede led the Island?s late revival by claiming four wickets for 75 runs while fellow seamer Kevin Hurdle and off spinner Delyone Borden took one wicket apiece as Canada closed the day on 386 for seven after 92.1 overs.

?I thought we showed a lot of character in the last session and overall it was just one of those days,? Logie told afterwards.

?Two little blemishes here and there, but that?s cricket and you have to give credit to the batsmen.

?Davison is a class act and he showed that today while Billcliffe played very solidly and showed his experience. And I think our players will learn some lessons from that.?

For the most part Bermuda bowled and fielded well, but allowed a catch behind and several others in the outfield to go begging.

Bermuda?s first innings total of 334 also proved insufficient as the Canadians surpassed the total in the 73rd over with seven wickets in hand.

However, reckless batting saw the hosts lose valuable wickets over the closing overs, and Bermuda?s confidence restored.

?Whenever you are in you have to stay in, and whatever opportunities you get in these games you have to take them because if you don?t you are going to pay for it, and we saw that today,? Logie added.

?But all in all I thought it was a big effort in the end to restrict them to 386 for seven after they were nearly 300 for two. Even in the last session when one might have thought the guys would wilt, they didn?t.

?Last year we fell over 100 runs behind but came out on top in the end. So there?s still a lot of cricket to be played in this game, and we are not out of it by any means.?
