Key for England is to take time out of the game
Don't worry about the follow on - it probably won't be enforced anyway.
The most important thing is to bat out the day regardless of the score. Even if it means only getting to 320-330 which, on this pitch and with Buttler and Moeen to come, we can do.
Few better batsmen in the world in this mindset than Cook.
Then with two days left, Australia will have to bat for at least two session to take the game away from England and declare.
Then we have four sessions to save the game.
