Only one day off? We are only just after lunch on Day Three.

Declare at tea and bowl us out before the close.today.
At a minimum.
If they continue to bat, they run the risk of our numbers 9, 10 and 11 adding futile runs that ensure the match spills over into Sunday.

We have been utter shite in this game but hardly a disgrace in comparison to the 90’s when we were consistently shit in all formats.
Ridiculous tactics, no one has ever come back from 311 behind, surely once they hit 400 they should've canned it?
Why? We're not even at the halfway point of the five days yet.
I reckon they'll bat for another 45 mins/an hour and have a quick blast at England before tea

Doesn't mean no one has ever got 311+ in a 4th innings though.
This being the same 'England cricket' that recently achieved the first whitewash in Sri Lanka, and their first overseas whitewash since the 1960s?

something has gone wrong in this test whether it be team selection, captaincy or just down to the players attitude.

Looking like the famous Tony Grieg blackwash here!

It's simple...there is not many teams apart from West Indies and South Africa who have out and out pace. We are not used to it and yesterday they blew us away with that pace.
We are seeing today that there are no demons in the pitch to medium pace bowlers who lack pace. The wicket is not turning which nullifies our spinners and curran is not a player that is going to go through a side.
It's one test BG, that's like saying that if we lose one game badly we shouldn't be 13th in the Premier League. Look at the bigger picture. They've got this one wrong, but overall...

So what you are really saying is that the team selection was wrong we have gone in wih spinners when perhaps should have been Broad and Wood.
