450 would be ideal but might not get there now. The games turned a bit into bodyline.

Regardless, 350+ is a hard chase in the fourth innings of a test match whatever the conditions. Bazball doesn’t change that. Not saying it can’t happen, Headingley showed that, but we just have squeeze out as many runs as we can and not worry about the mind games of England thinking they can’t chase down anything.

Just gotta focus on working out how to get 10 wickets.
