    Difficult one

    Good batting conditions today, wicket not doing much, cloudier more bowling friendly weather forecast for tomorrow and Monday.

    Bet England would have been straight back in if it was other way round.

    All fair points.

    I just think we should strike while we've got them rattled. Seems negative to me....

    I agree, grind them down

    Somewhat negative, would have preferred to see Flintoff steaming in, knee or no knee.

    I'd make them bat again - could end up with a day off tomorrow!

    RE: BOTTLED IT!

    I would only enforce the follow on if I thought the lead was sufficient to win by an innings. Given the conditions and the way some of our bowlers were toiling, the Aussies would have made a much better fist of the second knock.
