Depends what they expect the wicket to do over the next few days.

Another wicket down ... 152/8. That question of mine is looking less and less academic.

A bit of swing in the damp air helped too. Not to mention some committed fielding. Well done England.

Would you ask them to follow on? Or bat-on?

I am guessing from the team selection we don't reckon it's going to be much of a bunsen but it all depends on weather conditions, how much the pitch deteriorates and how much we can get out of it. I would be tempted to bat again and get runs under our belt, if we get 'em out quickly tomorrow, we can bat for a day and half and still have a day and half to bowl at 'em

With more mixed weather on the way, I think I might be tempted to put them in again, especially if England can take those last couple of wickets cheaply.

Oooh But XC we don't want to be chasing runs on the last day, after the damp conditions it might make it difficult. and remember how we struggled at Trent bridge chasing after putting 'em in

The batting is going to be tough all weekend. There is a psychological jab in enforcing the follow-on. They will need to put on 400+ to put us under much pressure. I think the weather may have a big say in this match though.

Oh yes I know it's a big psychological blow. I think if we skittle 'em out mega quickly and cheaply and we still have a lead of 250 -ish we should put 'em in
