Aussie skipper Steve Smith caused some controversy tonight when he decided not to enforce the follow on despite bowling England out 215 short of their first innings total of 442.

England came out fired up in the last session, with Jimmy Anderson in particular making the pink ball talk.

The Aussies ended up going in 4/53 at the stumps, with Smith, David Warner, Cam Bancroft and Usman Khawaja all back in the sheds.

Cricket fans on Twitter were quick to voice their opinions on the follow on, with many saying Smith should have enforced.

 

Not all fans were as critical though:
