Captains do not automatically choose to enforce the follow-on when they are entitled to. In two innings games, for a team to win, it usually needs to dismiss the opposition twice. If it fails to do so, the game may end in a draw. So, when there is limited time available so that a team does not think it had enough time to bat again and then dismiss the opposing side, the follow-on will almost invariably be enforced.
When time is not an issue, the follow-on is often not enforced. This is partly because it is tiring for bowlers to bowl for two consecutive innings. It is also usually considered a disadvantage to bat last, when the cricket pitch had deteriorated by wear and there are more natural variations to its bounce and ability to take spin.
Follow-on is a term used in the sport of cricket. It describes the situation where a team has two consecutive innings. Cricket matches are played over either one or two innings. The "follow-on" is only used in games played over two innings. In these games the teams take turns in batting. Team A has its first innings followed by Team B. Then Team A has its second innings, and finally Team B has its second innings (unless Team A's final score is less than Team B's first innings total).

In Test cricket if the side batting second is all out for 200 or more runs less than the side batting first, the captain of the side that batted first has the option of enforcing the "follow on". The side batting second then has to bat again to try and exceed the side batting first's original total. In county cricket the follow on is enforceable if the side batting second is 150 or more runs behind the side batting first.

The Law in respect of follow-on is reproduced below:
Law 13 (The follow-on)
1. Lead on first innings
(a) In a two innings match of 5 days or more, the side which bats first and leads by at least 200 runs shall have the option of requiring the other side to follow their innings.
(b) The same option shall be available in two innings matches of shorter duration with the minimum required leads as follows:
(i) 150 runs in a match of 3 or 4 days;
(ii) 100 runs in a 2-day match;
(iii) 75 runs in a 1-day match.
2. Notification
A captain shall notify the opposing captain and the umpires of his intention to take up this option. Law 10.1(e) (Insufficient time to complete rolling) shall apply.
3. First day's play lost
If no play takes place on the first day of a match of more than one day's duration, 1 above shall apply in accordance with the number of days remaining from the actual start of the match. The day on which play first commences shall count as a whole day for this purpose, irrespective of the time at which play starts.
Play will have taken place as soon as, after the call of Play, the first over has started. See Law 22.2 (Start of an over).

You were a lot of runs away so you needed to bat again and you take awey 543 and 212 that equals 331 so you have to make more runs than that if you made 431 they need hundred runs to win

If the team batting second finish their first innings more than 200 runs behind their opponent's first innings score, the opponent's captain has the option to ask them to "follow on"..in other words, force them to start their second innings strait away.

When any team is 200 or more run behind than their predecessor team, then they are asked to bat again and the term is known as follow on.

As far as I know, Follow-on is imposed on a particular team when it has made less than half of the runs of the opposing team... hope I am correct.
