But similar to Lyth and Ballance I'm afraid he's not good enough. If they are all legitimately the best players England have to open and bat in the middle order then things are in a bad way batting talent wise.

I didn't see the delivery but evidently it was a bit of a snorter, enough to demand he is dropped already?

Poor from Buttler and doubly so not to review.
If Buttler does nothing in the 2nd innings  taxi required.

150 run lead and England will win.

That was a tense session. We need to get the lead over 100, anything above that will be a huge bonus.

Lead up to 110, looking at how these 2 are batting and how poor Starc and Hazlewood are bowling I don't think 300 is beyond us here, which would be an excellent lead and would probably give us 30-40 minutes to bowl before tea.

You could be as there is a lot of time left in this match. They could bat for  5/6 sessions and get a lead of 350....

Lead getting close to "healthy". Anything above 150 would be a bonus.

Shame to see Broad go but I'm not going to fault him, he's played a big part in that partnership and was trying to push us along.

all done for 281 and a lead of 145 then.  Disappointing that Moeen went so soon after Broad, he needed to take a bit more responsibility there for me but again, as with Broad, if you number 8 is part of a 80+ partnership in a low scoring game it's harsh to be critical.

Key thing now is to get a couple of wickets before tea.  If we can do that this is our game to lose.

They're lucky he did.

Massive wicket that, get one of this pair as well and this is comfortably our session.

Need to get Warner soon or the lead will be gone before we know it.
