England opted against enforcing the follow-on, despite closing out the Australian innings 10 runs shy of the target on the third morning of the second Test. Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook came out to bat in the second innings under clear skies with a 210-run lead behind them. Surely, the hosts will never have a better chance to end Australia’s proud 75-year unbeaten streak at Lord’s.
But I am not discounting the Aussies yet as the Aussies are known for making comebacks and the English are known for crumbling under sustained pressure from opposition.
