Teams nowdays dont usually enforce the follow on, but seeing as the team batting would be doing it under lights I can only see one outcome by Smith here.
Said early on in the first test it would be a lot less embarrassing if half our squad get covid and the series is abandoned. Today hasn't changed my mind.
150-2 to 236 all out a vintage England lame collapse …pathetic pathetic pathetic it’s test cricket ffs , scoring at 2 an over and leaving the ball 75% of the time isn’t a bad thing contrary to the non purists cluelessness regarding this format of the game .
This is the most frustrating thing. And outside of openers we are that bad. It's poor discipline with the bat the ball and in the field plus poor leadership selection and decision making that have cost us.
Its not like 2013 when we were like deer in the headlights and blown away.
Odd that they're batting again. I can only think they're trolling us.
We were all thinking - oh great we're batting in the floodlights, we're doomed. And now they want to show us how to bat in it.
We are doomed.
And look how easy it’s been for them. England in this session look like they have given up.
As Leuth said, this is made all the more infuriating by the fact this Australia team outside of Warner, Smith and Labuschagne in batting terms really aren’t that good.

Robinson gets a life. When he's raising his bat for his maiden century, we'll remember that moment
If Australia enforce the follow on it will be similar today.
Not good enough.
Australia were 221-2.
