Well unless you consider 25 a big score, not happened today.

133/4.... England need a Buttler special.

Catching practice from Brook....

He looked in good form

But just chips a pie straight to the bowler

No room for error now

Out of form buttler needs to do something

Like to see Buttler bat himself him. Get a platform and then attack.

Again shows why he is the best player of spin, when other England batsmen just keep making basic blunders against spinners. Well played 50. :clap

They have decided that stepping out of crease to these spinners is not in plans. Even they did not step out to Mohd. Nabi. That says a lot.

It's a real shame watching a once great batsmen like buttler struggle this much

He's putting a lot of pressure on root here

Maybe he will try to hit himself in to form. Knocking it around isn't working.

Come down the wicket and smash it jos, stop messing about with these reverse sweeps

Finally stops messing about with dabs and reverse sweeps and deposits one 20 rows back

That's what he is good at, great at in fact.

Got to play to his strengths.

These two need about 8 an over, but are going at about 6 an over. According to my mental arithmetic.

Still feels like plenty to do, especially if a wicket falls.
