Brilliant morning for England.

Atherton made a good point about the Bazball approach in that England tend to adopt it more when conditions are in favour of the bowlers, in order to put them off their lengths.

Making very heavy weather of what looked a simple task. Not helped by a terrible review losing a wicket from the last ball before tea.
 
If we had Stokes and Woakes was able to bat, I'd give us a chance. its a long shot.

Crawley gone.
Duckett, Pope, Root, Brook, Smith all more than capable of huge scores quickly, but I’m not feeling it for some reason.

Have all the four previous Tests gone to five days? This one won’t.

No, it won't. There's a storm due on Monday anayway, but too late to save England. We'll need a big ton from somebody to have achance.
 
Amazing turnaround really given a 20% chance at the start of the innings. 100 for Brook off 91. Would be nice to really hammer them by 6/7 wickets.
 
Nearly there, shame Brook got out, but it should still be comfortable.

Be interesting, though, if we found ourselves 9 down with half a dozen needed and Woakes walked out to bat with his dislocated shoulder.
