We have a decent chance of a draw which is very disappointing after have them 8 down for a hundred and odd.


There isn't time for us to score nearly 400 runs which would be almost a world record total anyway.

We'll get beat. Little chance of a draw and us batting all day tomorrow unless it rains.

When was the last time England batted out a draw over a full day?

Kind of agree. But we encountered Smith being a complete freak. Without Anderson.

We didn’t bat particularly badly

But him being a freak against us isn’t freakish. He averages 145 against us since 2015. In general he was averaging 70 agai st everyone shortly before his ban.

I hate him but he is demonstrably an incredible test batsmen in this era. People shouldn’t be surprised that any more.
