The side batting second can be made to follow on only if they're 200+ runs behind in the 1st innings. So England saved the follow on when they reached 165 runs.

Or to quote law 14.1.1: "In a two-innings match of 5 days or more, the side which bats first and leads by at least 200 runs shall have the option of requiring the other side to follow their innings."
