What's the thinking behind this then? A bit over cautious surely?

 

[Lonesome Crow]

Absolutely crazy, already got more than enough runs, declare now ffs

 

[Sleepy Fox]

Interesting what Cookies saying .
Hope he's right !!!

A shocking decision not to enforce the follow on. That period of us batting has pumped up the Indian team and put all the pressure on us.

That wicket’s not broken up enough for it to have caused us any major issues had we needed to bat 4th and get a few runs. We may well have not needed to bat.

Shane Warne tweeted that England's tactics were NOT to loose the game rather than WIN the game.

Fantastic cricket by England so far in this matech.....now we need to run through the order by end of the day.

Come on England!!!

[Zorro]

[Sleepy Fox]

Won by 227 Runs
Sure was a shocking decision by captain Joe

 

[Sleepy Fox]

Leave it to the experts !!!

 

[Sleepy Fox]

Got to admit , i didn't think i would be going back to bed at 08.30 this morning . Brilliant cricket and what a win .

Seems like there's a cricket version of the KJS too fnq. A comprehensive win in a match dominated by England throughout

 

[DagenhamFox]

Woke at 4.45 knackered and slept again till 6. Missed most of the action but watched from lunch.

A great win.

I think I’ve fathomed why we didn’t enforce the follow on. Had we done so the game would have been completed last night which means our players would have had an extra day kicking around a locked down hotel in their bubble. It’s much better to extend play to the fifth day and have time out in the middle.

 

[Filbo65]

That.
Or that Anderson's nearly 40...

 

[foxesneverquit]

That
Or that you under estimated England's tactics

 

[DagenhamFox]

I think we put ourselves under undue pressure yesterday by batting but it did give all eleven players another chance to face India’s bowlers on a sub continent pitch and a bit of a rest from the heat.

2nd Test tomorrow. A few changes which they may regret.

Albeit I hope Ben Foalkes goes very very well.

And watch out for the West Indies second string, closing in on an away series win against Bangladesh.

What time does it start
