At tea we are 489 runs ahead and Billings is on 99*. Given the chance to make it 3 hundreds in 3 innings I doubt that he will be declaring during the break!
Slightly selfish to delay the declaration, but understandable, especially as we're midtable anyway and probably have enough time to bowl them out
I'll take that comment back, Bilbo should have kept batting and got his double century before declaring!
A shame the season has to finish, we're having a storming September
“If I’m honest, I was hoping to get two maybe three wickets tonight.
“The thinking behind us batting on was that you don’t want the ball to be too old going into that morning session, 10.30am start. It’s done more in that first hour every morning than any other part of the day.
That worked out rather well! As Billings himself has noted, the 10:30 start is a factor
Don't you dare take any wickets today! And no run outs either.
Leave the remaining three wickets to your God so that he can claim a 10-wicket match to go with his double-ton. How many people can claim they've completed that double, especially at God's age?!

The runs required is now below 500.
