Interesting to see how England approach this situation. Their best chance I think Is if they get bowled out with a lead of 160 to 200 with a couple of sessions to play. However I doubt they would willingly set that up by declaring.
Anyway it may be a moot point given they have just lost 2 in 2 balls.

Interesting, I was just thinking the same thing! I think they make it back in volume, so it doesn’t hurt on average but it will quite likely cost someone a title match at some point.
I was pleased to see (1) that draws are disincentivised (only 1/3 of the points of a win), and (2) there are direct penalties for slow over rates.

I like that the ICC has introduced it to make every test interesting and meaningful BUT every team should be playing each other home and away and each series should be 3 tests per series.
As it is at the moment each country only has 6 series (of various lengths) 3 at home , 3 away.
I emailed the ICC years ago with a schedule , each country has 8 Home series & 8 Away series over a 4 year period.
Yes still have the Ashes and other longer series but the 4th & 5th Test don't count towards the table.

On what basis do you make the serious allegation that the doctor made an error in diagnosis of Smith's injury in this case?
There are scientific analysis and baselines for all professionals in major sports nowadays.
Delayed concussion is certainly a prevalent occurrence in AFL, NRL and NFL.
Major sports have come a long way in recent years. Medical staff sit players until they are ready to return. Coaches only consider them once they are cleared.
Fyfe knocked out cold and played the next week. McCartin in the preseason had a small knock to the head and hasn't played since.

Top order needs a reshuffle. Marnus making a very good case for a spot. I'd drop Bancroft, Khawaja to open and Marnus slides in at 3. Or they may being in Harris for Bancroft. If Smithy doesn't get up, they will probably keep Bancroft and get Marnus in at 4. Bancroft just looks uncomfortable out there, his technique looks questionable in these conditions. Sidds also makes way for me, for Patto/ Starc.
Warner low on confidence but he's got runs on the board and won't take much for him to get going.
England have figured out a good game plan to him. Reminds me a little bit of what they did to the Gilly in 2005 by coming around the wicket, angling the ball in full and getting the odd one to hold its line or move away.
Exciting match at Lords. Might have been a different result either way if we had reviewed Stokes a couple of times on day 4/taken catches or if England had held Head on 22 last night.
Reliance on Smith right now is disappointing, to say the least. Archer a weapon for England.

Warner just needs a bit of luck and a flat pitch to get him going. We’ve definitely got that coming into the next couple of tests.
Bancroft has looked average but I don’t think throwing another left hander in is ideal given how well England have been bowling to them. It’s a shame we don’t have Joe Burns in this squad, because he would be straight in if I were selecting the team.
