A * for Foakes would leave him with the highest batting average in Test cricket

Be interesting to see if a declaration comes today or not. Might be worth having half an hour or so at the openers?

Bloody stupid, should have declared some time ago OR let Jennings get his 150 but neither happened...

I hate Palarse
I wonder if Root would have declared if he was the batsman on 146?

The most curious thing..
I don't. Ok in domestic but not test class. But there again we don't have a viable alternative.

Be a good one to lose, two days to get 400 (odd) with the quicks having little involvement with the new ball and Rashid and Moeen bowling a four ball every over. Yes, we should win easily but I think it could be closer than the pundits are predicting.
Shame Burns ran himself out, started to convert his County form to England and looked fairly comfortable.
