great knock by Buttler today but we need to get rid of Finch and try to bog them down a little, if we get them 160ish for 4 or so after 30 I'd be pretty confident.

Finch is a problem, we need that kind of destructive power up the top of the order. I guess that's why we've moved Stokes up.

Big wicket from Broad, but we need Finch out.

Massive wicket from Bres, advantage England right now I'd say.

Terrible over from Bresnan there, as experienced as he is to bowl 3 wides is not good enough.

I'm getting concerned, because losing is a habit and they'll start to get edgy.

I rated Stokes before this tour, but he has grown a lot he is a top quality player.

I fancy us to win now, Stokes is a true all rounder.

Ah finally a win, on a serious note Stokes has been a real find this tour he's excellent. Buttler is looking more and more like a top quality player. Morgan should be pushing for a Test place now and Jordan looks good to me.

Buttler is a quality player, 77 from 43 with the bat to put huge pressure on the Australian run rate and then 5 catches behind the stumps, that's as close to a perfect day as he'll have ever imagined.  I imagine Stokes will get the MotM award and he'll have earned it but to me Buttler is the one who won us this game with his batting.
