According to the laws of cricket,when a team is ahead on 1st innings basis, the captain can enforce follow-on if: 1) 5-day match: 200 runs lead established 2) 3/4 day match: 150 runs lead established 3) 2-day match: 100 runs lead established 4) 1-day match: 75 runs lead established Now if there is no play on the 1st day of a test match, the laws also specify that the match has become(in this case) a 4-day match. Therefore the follow-on lead required becomes 150 runs. Even Sir Garfield Sobers was once caught unaware and extremely upset when India enforced follow-on in similiar circumstances against his side at Kingston in 1971 He, of course, went on to make India pay for this effrontery.
