Well played Ian Bell (again). Aussies are on the floor, no celebration upon Bell's dismissal.

Was there not a case for letting them have a bat for half an hour tonight??? Can't believe we didn't have a good half hour at them. We've got more than enough on the board.

How cruel do you want to be? Root so close to his 200, and no real need to declare just yet. Give Root an hour, tire the Aussies out some more then unleash our bowlers on them. Also can't believe Geoffrey was saying to declare overnight too on TMS. Crazy. He wouldn't have been saying the same if he was so close to his maiden 200.

They have had a really hard day in the field today and I think we should have put them in for a half hour or so,considering we have plenty of runs. We will have to let Root try and get his 200 now and the Aussies will be nice and fresh when they have to start their second innings now.

Was always more important to him than the good of the team.....who is he trying to kid ?

They can be as fresh as daisies , it won't make any difference when you are faced with chasing 600 !

KP is out for the rest of the second test, due to a calf strain apparently.

I would have thought the declaration would have been called as soon as Root got to 150, witch was about 5.20. Then have a good half hour at them. Never mind, i agree now he should be given the chance to get his double century but for hour max, as Athers said, we've got a match to win.

If we can't bowl this poor Australian side out for less than 600 in two days we don't deserve to win

There is a slight possibility, and i mean slight the Aussies could bat for 5 sessions to force a draw.

If they bat for two days to force a draw .....good on them , if they last out tomorrow they will,do well
