It’s all very well in hindsight saying why was the follow-on enforced, but presumably Stokes consulted Broad, Anderson, Ollie Robinson and Jack Leach and they were all up for it, as were the rest. Anyway, NZ posting close to 500 would never have been the plan, but it does set up a very interesting Day 5. Crawley never looked entirely comfortable and at 39-1, a nightwatchman was sent in.

I think it will be an enthralling final day.
