One more wicket and into the tail, great morning of cricket.

We dried up the runs first thing and exerted lots of pressure on the batsman, proper test cricket

Well, what a contrast between the last two sessions. We have a good show of getting them before they avoid the follow-on.

An innings defeat is totally on the cards.

I'd still back Bangladesh to avoid the follow on, it's only another 50 or so runs away.
But gee wouldn't it be great if we could enforce the follow on.

What a session.

Credit where it is due to Meth. Superb performance from him. 12 over, 2 for virtually nothing today. I really wish people would stop being so hung-up on the speed gun. Sure, you wouldn't want all your seamers to be of Meth's pace, but a variety is excellent. Medium pace bowling is a skill in itself, as he demonstrated. It doesn't just mean you are a failed quicky. They are 2 distinct styles of bowling.

It would be nice to have a chance to enforce the follow-on. Not sure if we should take it, hopefully Taylor gets the chance to have a choice.

I'll happily tuck into that humble pie now :D
