Anyone think England might have to bat again?
It's a turning pitch, but 137+ between Hussey, North and Haddin wouldn't be out of the question. Plus if they get a partnership going for any length of time they might even carry a narrow (but valuable enough) lead. Not necessarily enough to win the game (on a 5th day pitch never say never though) but certainly to ensure the draw.
Should England have declared earlier or stuck another 40 runs on, hard one to call. If it's a complete washout today it won't have made much difference either way.
Hussey is an aggravating barsteward who plays spin well, I can see him hanging around. But there is a chink of light with North fresh in. Get him early, nail Haddin and that should be the game. Siddle might offer a bit of resistance but you'd back Swann or one of the seamers to clean up.
Hopefully they get enough play in the morning to make serious inroads.
