So as it stands, are we 3 points ahead? Same batting points but Middx have only 1 bowling point?
Does their game look like it is likely to be draw? I guess the status at close of play will tell us a lot more.
Even if they get the 3 bowling points, we are still 1 point ahead so if they draw we need to draw or better. If they were to win, we have to win
If they look likely to draw, do we go for a safe draw? Thinking about some of our disastrous second innings!
We are actually 4 points ahead, as we got 4 batting points to their 3.
We are in the situation where we can go for the win, but if we end up with a tricky target, won't have to chase it unless a miracle happens at Trent Bridge, where Middlesex need 17 wickets in less than 5 sessions.

We have 1 more batting point than Middlesex and (presently) 2 more bowling points.
We started this round of matches 1 point ahead so are presently 4 points ahead which will reduce to 2 once Middlesex claim full bowling points.
As long as it is 1 point more than them after the first innings, we have to win if they do, can draw if they do - the issue if if they win and we don't or they draw and we lose
If their game looks like it is going to be a draw. it might change out tactics......
