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.

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.
Oh dear, Warnie is really overdoing the "trying to look young" shit, isn't he?
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.
Good to see the bacon sarnies going over to congratulate him.
Lovely innings that...really enjoyed watching him play.
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.
The very definition of a good day at the office.

Slowly slowly catchee.....
Oh that's probably not PC.
They are probably all quite happy about that. Should stop Jimmy throwing the cucumber sandwiches around...
England enforce the follow on.
