But he was dropped on 4!
But he was dropped on 4!Buttler batted exactly how a no.7 should and for once had something of a platform to build from.
Scored 80 of the 150ish last 5 wickets put on.
Built sensibly with the better batsmen and took control with the tail.
Now that's Test match batting.

Unless Malan gets some runs before August he could get dropped.At least he made them pay, so often see England batsmen dropped head goes and 5 balls later they find another way to get themselves out.
Only downside is they’ll keep this side (if all fit Stokes for Curran) for the first test v India in 2 months.
Still far from convinced.

Just hope they resist the urge to promote Buttler up the order. Already looking a dubious decision moving Bairstow up the order.
Bess needs 4 day cricket - nice debut etc. but a lot of full tosses. Big step up to be main spinner against an experienced India side who hold little fear of spin at the best of times.
mentality of English Test groundsmen is to prepare a balanced wicket rather than one that favours home side.(most other countries don't).Playing against India is way beyond him at the moment they would treat him like a net bowler, they need to get the groundsman to produce wickets for the seamers against India

Bet any money we'll see at least a couple of wickets that'll spin so favouring India!!
Possible factor is they didn't see much real pace due to county wickets and it was often pace that undid them in Tests.
Both frequent targets for short-pitched bowling.
oval & headingly England's worst grounds since 2010 then Lords.Lords and the oval try to produce wickets which produce five days income the rest of the grounds for an English win for this reason I would always make them the second and third tests, the oval has just been made into a batting paradise. The first test should always be at Edgbaston as it’s good to get off to a winning start in the most partisan ground
Hell yes! Convicts do it against us! We're too nice.oval & headingly England's worst grounds since 2010 then Lords.
Should just play 2 each at Edgbaston, OT and Trent Bridgewon 14, drawn 3, lost 1.
How doesn’t Sam Billings keep getting in the Odi squad!? His record even at county level is nothing gets one big score in 20 and has done nothing in his chances for England!
Errmm.....And another. Give it 10 mins and then post about how we haven't taken a wicket for a while!
don't care what sort of wicket this is or the boundary sizes - this is a woeful/clueless bowling performance.
going to add Scotland to Holland & Ireland who have beaten England in one day cricket?
add Plunkett to the list - always goes for plenty but occasionally picks up a couple of wickets.England lack that 6th bowler massively today.
Willey is average at best and when it’s not swinging he’s cannon fodder.
Wood is overrated full stop.
Needs Rashid to put the brakes on here with his final 3 overs
Good game to win.... chance for the batsmen to get some big runs and be a good challenge for England chasing!
Gotta assume Scotland will bowl far more intelligently than England did and be captained better - Morgan should have been onto his bowlers about their length from early onGood game to win.... chance for the batsmen to get some big runs and be a good challenge for England chasing!
Steady, you did this the other day!!180 off 27 8 wickets in hand you’d expect England to see it home from here!
Oh dear. A bit on the ropes now. This will be really embarrassing if they lose this.180 off 27 8 wickets in hand you’d expect England to see it home from here!
Certainly looks like it.Erm, we're going to lose to Scotland :bag:
Need to stop playing silly shots.Unless ali is out in the next five overs England will get home
