Does anyone know how far ahead you have to be after the first innings to make the batting team stay on?

EDIT: I know it's not likely for this game, but I'm just curious.

Not absolutely sure, but I think in a 5 day game the team batting second has to get to within 200 runs of the other teams score. So, Aus would need 225 to avoid the follow on.

yeah thats right

200 in test matches

150 in 4 day championship games
