It's not about whether Jordan or Woakes are crocked for the 4th test, it's whether or not they can be effective in the second innings of this one. And 3.25 days of constant bowling/fielding is a big ask.
I'm with Boycott. I don't think they'll necessarily enforce the follow on. If we get them out soon, it's probably better to rest the bowlers for most of a day and belt the ball all over the ground, thereby batting India out of the game. Then let them try and survive 1.5 days on a worn pitch...
