    Is this to get bairstow a confidence building 50?

    I was up for batting after lunch but I don't see the point in adding 6 runs to lose 3/4 overs including the change over

    I'm gonna be annoyed if we draw needing a couple of wickets. We should've been batting 30 mins ago.

    Quick maiden hundred from Anderson, ten wickets after Tea.  Feet up until the Oval.

    Amazing how much better he is when he hasn't kept wicket in the last 24 hours.

    Declare too early in the first test, declare too late in this one. There’s a certain symmetry there 
    Yes, it's utterly bizarre.

    I think this is as much about Demoralising the Aussies as it is the situation of the game. The psychological pressure of this lead and these runs will be on their minds. Good conditions to bowl in. Still plenty of time today - forecast is dry for the rest of the day but overhead conditions will favour bowling. I'm confident.

    I'm fine with this. In all probability Australia will get more than 200, so we might as well score the runs now

    Think that should be enough.

    This.  I have changed my mind, as long as bairstow is scoring quickly then I'm happy for them to stay out and dominate.

    Especially if Jimmy keeps smacking them for 4

    The Aussies won't be skittled out, they bat right down the order and it's only a day 3 pitch. It'll be easier scoring runs now than on day 5

    How many wickets do we wanna take this afternoon? I'd be happy with them closing 4 down I think

    I thought we would let him get his 50 we might as well let him get his ton now.

    Ideally (apart from 10) we want to be at/near the tail as we may need to get wickets very quickly on Sunday.

    So 6?

    Duckett must be so annoyed, other top 6 all getting 50+

    Aussies have nine men on the boundary. Bairstow scoring in sixes…

    Sixes or nothing at the moment, with a single near the end of the over to keep strike
