It might be Burns day to bat long.
I'm really keen to see Foakes but Ed Smith seems adamant on picking Buttler. |  |

They are certainly giving Buttler time. This is one of the good things about England's management compared to the ECB of the 90s when they chopped and changed the players after every test. That must've been really unsettling playing for England during that period. |  |

Batters sometimes just get a ball too good for them to play. Only takes one to get you out.
Somebody else will have to anchor the innings today. |  |

Decent ball bit Sibley just missed it. Been ok other than that, a moving for bowling by the looks of it.
Shannon Gabriel has just pulled up injured though. |  |

You do know Buttler is a keeper as well as a batsman?
He kept wicket superbly in the last test and also scored some crucial runs.
Deserves his place in the side. |  |

Gabriel looks a big unit, but he looked really stiff during the second test. [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 11:50]

He’s bowling now. I saw him during the second test and assumed he was backroom, doesn’t look like your typical professional sportsman. | |

Absolutely extraordinary.
How can any professional athlete be in that condition these days, playing top level international sport?!!! |  |

I’m assuming he won’t be fielding in the outfield at any point.
He did just find significant turn very early into this game. | |

be interested to see the number of rotations he gets. Hard to really get some tweak on the ball without a bit more body action. | |

I’m betting he gets stuck in at lunch. | |

Indeed. More turn and accuracy than I have seen from Bess so far though... | |

And at the third attempt, we finally lose a wicket to a run out. FFS. |  |

Really good fielding but poor from Root. Going in at 60/1 or so would have been fairly decent after the early wicket. | |

Anyone else struggle a little with Strauss as a commentator, he’s better than he was but find him stilted.
Great cricketer and person and been through such a lot, so it’s not going to wreck my life listening to him. |  |

I think the analysis is good but it probably reflects his previous roles and naturally being a little guarded about what he says.
Think Sky have had a good balance this series, Definitely not missing Botham and Warne. | |

The ideal opportunity for Buttler to prove his worth with the bat. England under some pressure and Buttler needs to deliver a score. | |

England's tall looks really long with Stokes in solely as a batsman. There are runs in this pitch and it would be nice time see this partnership get a lot of them.. | |

I was just thinking how short it looks with Stokes out! (I know my cricketing insight isn't exactly great ;) )
If only Buttler could get a ton ... | |
