They can give the bowlers a rest up and then still have 2 cracks at them under lights with a new ball, if required.
And risk losing three or four tonight under lights. Just doesn't add up to me. Poms can swing the ball and conditions suit right now. Bad call.

We're that far ahead, the Poms would have to bowl us out for under 150 to even get back in the game and that's not going to happen.

Don't think so but letting them at us tonight increases what risk their is. Follow on - do it every time.
 
WTF is wrong with enforcing the follow on, especially when you can have a crack at them under lights?
Rarely see the follow on these days, it's ridiculous.

Now was the perfect time to enforce it.

Conditions are perfect for England's bowlers.

Edit: And there goes another wicket.

Ummmm - yep. I just don't get it. By not following on we give them a sniff - they can still win (unlikely, but). By following on they cannot win.

And another gone.

Edit: Reviewed but Smith's face says he's hoping more than anything

Decision not just the Captains.
The openers were running off the field before the celebrations had finished, it's largely his decision.

That was the evening Australia should have had after declaring, except for rain. Test cricket - great game.
