edit: The follow-on rule seems to be a fiendishly designed plan to allow commentators and fans another avenue to criticise and harp on captains usually from a position of hindsight after the team didn't do their job properly (not that I agree with the decision this time).

There is now way he should have enforced the follow-on. If you can't make 200 in the second innings then you are a team of failures.

Sure, but the bowlers had the ball swinging, and India didn't have the stomach for the fight at that moment. I'm confident we would've had them 2-3 down by lunch and all but done by stumps. Boult and Southee had bowled 36 overs between them, but that was split over 40 overs day 2, 20 overs day 3.

In any case, that 2nd innings was pathetic.

Bruce Martin was pretty good. Made England look poor against spin.

Umpire should have the right to award another over before tea if the batsman is loving around.
