Personally I'd do 10 overs max after lunch.

This batting line up, when you take Smith out, has struggled, that goes back to the last series as well.
We've probably got enough to not lose already, take another 10 overs off them and we definitely have, regardless of how many we get in that time.

I genuinely think we've got a real chance here. Psychology that dressing room knows that they rely on Smith, he bails them out time after time. How will they cope mentally knowing he won't bat? If the openers fail again I think we'll skittle them.
