If we can knock them over quickly tomorrow, with a follow on they would need 400 second time round, worst case scenario and they're 150 behind then we would need to bat quickly to 150

A chase of 300 will be tough

I can't see England enforcing the follow-on.

They might enforce if they knock them over in the first 20-30 mins of play, but then you’re still risking the bowlers having 3 days in the field. One of them is 54 years old, so probably not the best plan. I’d say there’s about a 2% chance of asking them to follow on.

I don’t think we will but we are in a good position-just need to break the partnership in the morning.

Bess has bowled better here, a great catch from Root helped and another good one by Pope.had Archer held on to that difficult one it would of been even better.

Am I the only one watching Archer thinking again he has cut his pace because of a slow wicket...is that the right way to bowl when you get a slow deck?

He's been trying to bowl more cutters so I imagine pace off makes sense, yes.

What do people think is the target?

Cook says a 400 lead

Love the game in all its formats but you just cannot beat the ebb and flow of a tight, well fought test match between two quality sides.
Intriguing post tea session ahead!

Not going anywhere at the moment

Without spit on the ball and seeing windies chase 395 vs bang. England going for the safe option and taking time out of the game

And not forgetting how India batted in the 4th innings at Sydney and Brisbane

Agree probably the pant factor. But very defensive mindset from England having been on top of the game for 4 days
