The mentality difference between different formats is mad isn't it? I know all the reasons why but you'd be really confident of knocking off 277 in 50 overs yet this seems a really tall order.

Difference in pitch too, surely? You'd be confident getting that on the first day of a test.

Yep that's obviously the main factor and why 4th innings runs chases are usually so hard once they get close to and above 300.  Big difference between batting second on a pristine 1 day pitch, and the 4th innings on the final day of a test where 300 overs have been bowled on it.

This is a really poor display and an imbalanced team. I think I’d consider dropping Jimmy for a batsman as one change. I know Archer hasn’t been at his best, but he can be a point of difference in a pretty samey attack.

This little counter attack is why Buttler plays, doesn't happen as much as any of us would like but he can completely change an innings if he gets it right.

I’d back Bairstow in this situation above Buttler every time. However, if Woakes was at eight and Bairstow at seven with the gloves in this situation I’d be backing England - but I not  at the minute

This has turned in to a really good game, 213-5 and 64 needed.

Remarkable effort from Buttler and Woakes.

I piled on all the money in my account (paddypower account) on England yesterday at 3/1 against so I am sitting on a mega mountain of cash now. All £48.22 of it.
