A tip top day for England. Especially considering where they started, on 198-7 and limping. But Jos Buttler did it again, as he has throughout the summer when the hosts have been in strife, stroking them smashing his way to 89 before he was the last wicket to fall with the score on a perfectly acceptable 332. After the early Broad breakthrough, the visitors took it to the England attack but Curran then Anderson (who was superb) broke open the middle order in the final session before Stokes penetrated the lower order by the close. The big moment came when he located Kohli’s edge with 20 minutes left on the clock, one short of his half-century. With that went any realistic chance of a first innings lead for the tourists. And with that, I’ll bid you farewell. I hope you all have a lovely Saturday evening watching Swanny on Strictly. Tanya Aldred will be with you tomorrow morning and I’ll take the baton in the afternoon. Until then, g’night!
