85 runs in 15 overs would seem highly unlikely.

Draw is the outsider of the 3 results so will likely get more than 15 overs in.

How quick we score will depend a lot on these two. Siddle's in next who wont score freely.
 
Leysy's done some investigating.

Play has stopped between 2am & 2.15am every night this far.

By leysy's reckoning we'll have get circa 20 more overs in.

Now most umpires would let it go on a touch more if a result is imminent. But Billy Bowden would love the chance to get involved so they wont.

I'm talking about the rule itself.

Wasn't it still 'not out' if the batsman showed intention to hit the ball but missed?

Playing a shot saves you only if you were struck outside the line of off stump:-

Is it compulsory to go off for the light, I thought it was offerred to the batsman and if they wanted to play on they did

Bowden does have a habit of sticking it to us
 
BigCat - Think there's some *smile*ed up rule that says if the players have accepted bad light at a certain reading already in the test then they have to go off if it hits that reading again.
