Doesn't show in the braking figures. They went from 130 kts at 18:48:36, when brakes were first registered full, to 95 kts by 18:48:50, end of data.

That is 66 m/s to 48.3 m/s in 14 seconds.
So 48.3 = a.14 + 66, giving a = -1.26 m/s/s which is, if I remember rightly, better than the target deceleration with Autobrake MED.
