10:21If England were scripting out their Saturday, it couldn’t have gone much better. In turn, they’re in a position to just about seal the series by the time they go to bed tonight. Riding shotgun with Jonny Bairstow for a 50-run final wicket stand, then picking up four wickets in the afternoon, it was a clinic from the old boy. Once that’s out of the way they realistically have one final chance to get back into this: bowling England out in a hurry to leave themselves vaguely chaseable. But as we’ve learned in this series so far, fourth innings targets have been in theory only.
