    Burns must be running out of chances and Root has not scored anything substantial for quite some time even though getting starts.

    Crawley has great potential and his big score was compiled in quick time.

    Yes, Broad and Anderson won't be too bothered if they don't hang around with the bat for too long.

    There's encouragement for the bowlers here.

    England could declare after Crawley is out or hits a double century. It would force the game and the wicket is better for bowling now. 400 would be a good declaration...

    Given the uncertainty of the weather, I'd be inclined to agree with you, although I think 450 would be a better bet.

    At 380 now and Crawley has 192.

    Once he has his 200 I'd just tell them to swing the bat for 45 minutes and declare on what's scored by then.

    Buttler can all but take the game away from them in that time.

    255 stand now - highest English 5th wicket partnership ever.

    I thought exactly the same in the last test.

    Grotesque.

    Alistair Cook's record of 263?

    If that's the record, I can't sort the list.

    No, it looks like Denis Compton 278.

    Had to be a Gooner didn't it.

    Agreed.

    Didn't think he had it in him, to be honest.

    Wasn't it just.

    I think they're wasting overs now.

    Three wickets for Anderson to round off another super day for England...

    ...fingers crossed the weather holds out.

    It looks like there may be a substantial amount of play possible both today and tomorrow.

    Tuesday might be a complete wash out.

    Jimmy's treble might be invaluable.

    They are probably all quite happy about that. Should stop Jimmy throwing the cucumber sandwiches around...

    England enforce the follow on.
