Really worried now @ 3/47. Pls save us Smiffy.
Poms have a big sniff now.

That evening session was always going to be super tough to play. Given we hadn't been in the field that long I think enforcing the follow on was the right move.
I'd be very surprised if England had done better and weren't 4 or 5 down and still 150+ behind.
We now desperately need to get through at least a session and a half today so we get to bowl at them under lights with a relatively new ball tonight.
If we get rolled in the first session and England make a good start they might get to the evening session with settled batsmen against an old ball and then would be a real chance of winning.

Short term hurt for long term gain. England will be chasing 400 odd on the fourth evening and the fifth day. With a ball that is basically a tennis ball wrapped in electric tape, a deteriorating pitch and potentially two sessions under lights. They have no chance.
