That's what I was thinking. Look at how easy Bristow is making it look – the Aussie top order would be all over that. Wait a bit for the (hopefully worse, but not too bad) weather and it's a different proposition!
And:
That is the fastest 500 England have got in this country since 1985 at Edgbaston.
It's the fourth fastest 500 in Test history. England also hold the first and second record in Rawalpindi and Ireland.
#BAZBALL :lolol:
They'll probably do the opposite, purely because Australia are expecting the declaration. Bristow gets his 50, England get the psychological lead of 200 and then the Aussies get a couple of tough sessions (minus a little bit) to negotiate.
All over by the end of the day :thumbsup:
