It could be one day, forecast horrendous tomorrow, could effectively only have the rest of day and Tuesday left in the game, need enough time as we can to bowl them out.

Nice to have an opening partnership that looks solid for a change
I must be watching a different game looking at some of the comments on here mind. Cracking job from Sibley and Burns.
Can’t alter gameplan in a test match because the weather may or may not be iffy tomorrow.
Look right twats if go out gung ho and rolled for 150 leaving them 2 days to chase 300.

Well yeah, take that point, and the way they playing could be less, but why would we not want to give ourselves more by scoring faster now, surely it’s a no brainer?

Broad at 3 please
I said if we went out gung ho from the start and got rolled for 150. This has been a solid platform. Nothing wrong at all. There’s still 2 days left man!

There won't be a ball bowled tomorrow, it's impossible to ignore the forecast.
Yesterday was meant to be showers, tomorrow's forecast for a downpour.
I don't think we needed to go in swinging, but we needed to be more proactive than 2.5 runs per over. Still think we'll win like.

There is effectively one that’s the whole point of the debate, nobody would be having this discussion if the forecast wasn’t horrendous tomorrow.
You can’t alter your game based on a forecast imo, not with 2 days to pay anyway. Play the situation which is what we’ve done. In a great position here and I expect us to be 350+ on by end of play, job done.
Can’t totally your play based on a forecast. We are going to be 350+ ahead at end of play man. What more do you want?

It's not job done if it's a washout tomorrow and we don't bowl them out on the last day.
They are alterting their game plan based on the forecast, they have kicked on since tea which they wouldn't be doing it was forecast fair for the next two days. So it's nonsense to say that.
They’ve kicked on because they’ve give themselves the platform before tea when everyone on here was twisting on.
Without that platform we wouldn’t be pushing on now.
Exactly how many did you expect us to be ahead at end of play when started batting today?

Of course you can, in a deciding test that you must win, and the forecast is horrendous which could leave you just one day, to bowl a team out, you push along a bit quicker, of course you do, there is a balance to be had of course between goung ho, and scoring slowly, we need to push on a bit quicker which I think we will do, if still batting by the end of today will have a least a 400 lead, unless bad light, as the players will realise the need to push on.

I’m with Jardine, the openers were excellent

I don't worry about the forecast either,
England have more than enough time to get the runs tonight and skittle them over 2 days.
