    We're looking a bit fragile at the moment, 329 beginning to look like a match-winning score...

    Just got away with it. You have to think India will leave England an impossible target. Keeps the series alive...

    If the weather doesn't intervene, the series will be 2-1 to England with 2 to play.
    Keeps it interesting I suppose.

    This will undoubtedly cause them both to get out, but Stokes and Buttler are showing how the upper order should have played. Proper Test batting.

    Willing to eat my words about Buttler not being a Test player if he pulls this off (or greatly contributes)

    Asking a bit much for him to save the game, but he's got a 50 playing sensibly when none of the others have been able to do so.

    Agreed mate, that’s why I said about his contribution being enough to make me change my mind.
    Can’t watch as sitting on Bournemouth beach with the kids :(

    After losing all 10 wickets between lunch and tea on Sunday, England manage to get through this afternoon without losing a single wicket. It's not going to change the result, but Stokes and Buttler have at least shown some fight and have played sensibly. An example to some of the others.
