So the declaration was delayed to give England's batsmen little time to get ready.

Funky declaration. Thought they'd look for another hundred.

Unlucky out for Smith. Well done to him, and Ginger yesterday.

they could have declared before tea though, and had 2-3 overs at them..

Gave England much less mental and physical preparation time.

nice bounce M2 got on the last delivery of that over - M1 will be a handful.

Ballance appears to be a batsman that wants to put bat to every delivery, worrying.
