Superb first hour for England there with 45-1. India letting any advantage slip away again

As a live spectator I never enjoyed watching the tail hang around. Of course it can be entertaining at times, but I was always waiting for the 'proper' batsmen to bat.

Though I forgot Buttler is batting, who can be good to watch.

Could argue that Buttler has been the difference between to 2 sides during this series.

102-1 for England in that session, and they've made it to 300. Wicket still looks flat though. England have the initiative now though.

Holding is right. India's pacers are pitching the ball too short.

Broad turning the clock back there. Must be flat if he's staying in.

Yes, I've been waiting all morning to see the Indian openers come out to bat!

Two good morning sessions for England- only one wicket fell yesterday before lunch.

8th wicket partnership would suggest batting wont be to hard this afternoon.

Buttler goes.

Have to concede the experiment with him has worked this summer.

Him and Curran have been a success for the selectors.
