I know this is with hindsight, but I thought exactly the same at the time - we definitely batted too long. Not only too long, but too slow. With the weather forecast in mind we should have slogged our way to 300 to get the second batting point and then declared. Instead we batted as if we were going to get 100 overs on the fourth day. We sit marginally top, but this was an opportunity missed.
