The Ben Stokes-led outfit decided to end their batting innings with just 393 runs on the board after 78 overs, having won the toss and elected to bat first earlier in the day.
The bizarre thing about England's decision was the fact that former captain Joe Root was still on the crease and looked in good touch to help his team see out the day's play. After scoring his 30th Test century, Root made 118 runs in 152 balls before Stokes called his players back. Intriguingly, England took 20 runs in the last over of the innings before declaring from Nathan Lyon's bowling.
