Sounds like a proper day of Test cricket.

A good track and some patient batting gave us a good platform. It's a shame that Burns and Denly couldn't convert their 50s into 100s. If Stokes can stick around, with Buttler and Curran still to come, England could score a match winning total in the first innings, as Root has been talking about doing all week.

[i8ubutler]

Stokes caught at slip for 91.
Currently 282 - 5.

[POSHO]

286-7

[Top of the JES]

300-8 how to undo a good days work in just over an hour : need a Jos Buttler cameo now to get us up beyond 350.

[Lovejoy]

Business as usual for England, what a shower!

[EliotNes]

No passion, no guidance or motivation from the Captain.

[banqo]

Could be over by lunch tomorrow. Same old, same old.

[tuffers#1]

[banqo]
