I hope we can bowl them out without having to bat again. I don't fancy chasing 150 on this deck

I might be wrong but I can’t see NZ getting 350+ runs, and even if they did England would chase them down.I hope we can bowl them out without having to bat again. I don't fancy chasing 150 on this deck

I agree with you, but I just think enforcing the follow on here could very unnecessarily let NZ back into the game.I might be wrong but I can’t see NZ getting 350+ runs, and even if they did England would chase them down.
With 2.5 days still to play, there's no rush to end it. What would've been wrong with batting for 60 overs to give us a lead of 500.
That would've put the game to bed and we'd still have 2 days or so to bowl them out

NZ 200/3 is an amazing effort after there first innings, they could reach 350+ runs and set England 150/160 to win but being realistic I reckon England bowl em out for 280 and chase down 75 runs, anything else is highly unlikely but you never know.I agree with you, but I just think enforcing the follow on here could very unnecessarily let NZ back into the game.

Making them follow on us the positive move but the only way for New Zealand to win the game! If we choice go bat we’d be around 500 Lead now and New Zealand no chance of winning! Now they do have a sniff! Still expect it to win and should chase anything around 250!

More of we can chase 250! More like we be chasing 150/175 but that pitch has a history of flattening out mainly on the 3rd and 4th day.
