Should have declared by now why keep batting? - 416-8
Unless the weather forecast is bad, I'd rather bat them out the game completely and hope to take 20 wickets before they got our total or a bit beyond it. Still 8 sessions to go.

I'm rather loving the big total with a Smith fail.

EDIT- I thought it was day 2, not 3. I'm guessing they are trying to run till lunch and push for the 20 wickets in 5 sessions then.

Crocombe came in and knocked it around a bit, as a good tail-ender should - but the four overs for four runs after he was out were just a waste. Should have declared then IMHO.
Still - 5 sessions left - can Sussex force a follow-on, and can we get 4 wickets a session for the rest of the match? (probably not).

Nah - looks like we've enforced the follow-on. Too bloody right! - why on earth wouldn't we?

Six overs left - couple of wickets before close of play?
Genuine question.

Can the follow on be enforced with a lead below 200?
