Not a bad recovery, this. But we have a long tail, so these two need to drop anchor and stay put. Certainly until lunch, if, indeed, they get out of the dressing room in the morning.

Nice fifty for Buttler. But he needs to go on. And he's only scored one century in 44 tests. Not a great record. Make it two Joss.

After being put in that’s a decent return

Watched a lot of Pope for Surrey and so glad to see him showing his class in the England side. He is going to be very special. Shame the weather is going to intervene can’t see anything but a draw with the current forecast. Bloody English weather!

Good to see Buttler digging in. Buttler was starting to look a bit like the John Stones of English cricket to me. Someone that you want to have faith in, even while it's ebbing away.

Shame it’s going to end a draw.

You never know, we all said the same in the last test, I just can’t wait for Archer to give the big lad Cornwall a bit of chin music it promises to be a laugh no mater the outcome

Yeah maybe if we bowl them out for under 130 and we get another 200 overs in

So the day’s play has started on time and John @Indaparkside Ketley isn’t a weatherman!

Yep can’t believe the game started on time with all the rain we have had overnight and this morning be brilliant if it stays off
