5-10 over is a huge amount when you're chasing a win

Anderson seemed to have adjacent thoughts - keen for a trundle.
That was the most pointless last 20-30 minutes of batting, no issue not declaring at tea or immediately after but leaving it this long to just poke and prod - it's almost as if England wanted to bat tomorrow so they could use a heavy roller on the pitch or something

Batted too long 1st Innings IMO, and then as others have said, what the point of Root's innings if the lower order batted the way they did.
How many games is that actually the case though?

They're still in a great position but very odd batting from england.

The valid criticism is not that they shouldve declared earlier, but they shouldve forced the pace of scoring a bit more. Thats technically not declaration talk.

The question was not about not declaring, it was about how they were batting. It looked like they just wanted to suck time out of the game, which suggests they are/were still thinking of losing this game, which I think is odd. If anything, this maybe be their best shot at winning a test this series.
