Perhaps a 'noob' question, but why didn't England have to follow-on in the second test after being bowled out for 172 in their first inning when the Aussies had 570 declared from theirs?

Australia chose not to force the follow on..

from the BBC:

"Even with a first-innings lead of 398, Australia opted not to enforce the follow-on - seemingly to give their bowlers a rest."


God knows what they will be like when they have rested!
