Now, if they need to bat again, the match might go for a draw. They were batting superbly. They could just stayed 1 more session and start hitting and score 100+.

i don't think their bowlers would want to bowl at us twice without any rest anyways. The best option for them is to bowl us out as cheaply as possible and then storm to a 2nd innings total of 200+ (overall lead 350-400)while giving their bowlers time to rest. I think they would want to leave themselves 5 sessions to bowl at us in the 2nd innings
