Lunch. 99 run lead.
Would be good to accelerate a bit.
Am not talking flailing but 16 runs in the opening hour is not exactly demonstrating intent.
Picked up a bit without risk in the second hour with 42.
Seems to me though best chance of a win is keep doing what we're doing, put a big lead on and rely on scoreboard pressure, and chase a small total in the last session tomorrow.
I don't thinks there's enough tome to get them out and chase a medium sized total.

If that were true I would agree. Unfortunately this is day 4.
