time left

The commentators don't seem to realise that the "50 overs left" is
completely implausible. That's about 4 hours of cricket (and would be
longer if necessary with a bit of inevitable gamesmanship).

Fitting in even 40 overs would be a stretch, minus 3 for the remaining
wickets (hat-trick) and break between the innings. With England 221-7 at
tea, the game is now safe IMO.
