England to win this, 104-0 at the close of play, then they'll win by a few wickets at the end of tomorrow

36 extras. Take that off the total and it's a significant difference.
Not to mention the No Ball wicket. Inexcusable really.

I'd prefer this Test to end a draw. It would be horrible for cricket if the tactics both have used were seen to reward one over the other.

104-0 at close of play would definitely be followed by a collapse to 150-6 tomorrow morning.

371 to win? No problem. We'll have them chalked off by lunchtime tomorrow.

38 in the first innings and now 36 in the second innings. Showing signs of improvement, I guess, but when you are chasing 371, those are significant figures.Not to mention the No Ball wicket. Inexcusable really.

No big deal, we just need to invent a totally new effective way of batting against short balls.
Surely we’ve got to have something up our sleeves, it’s not catching us by surprise.

This is a chance to rule the world. We just need to show a little patience. Never forget, tomorow could be our greatest day, a chance to shine. Just pray it all comes good, and we see a flood of runs.36 extras. Take that off the total and it's a significant difference.

371 is a daunting total to chase for any team in any era. We managed to better that against India last year and pre-Bazball we chased over 360 to win against Australia at Headingley in 2019, but it’s far more common to see a team fail when chasing a total like that. If we weren’t so uncomfortable against the short ball, I’d fancy us to make a good fist of it but I can’t see it really.
