Cricket

NICE

Zak Crawley, solid.

Well played crawley, but this is a massive innings from Buttler, England were in right in the mincer but he's pushed this score back into match winning territory.

A full days play, England batting all of it and only losing 4 wickets.

Wowsers.

Well, this is nice

Delighted for Buttler. He’s worked hard to change his batting mindset.

Would be nice if Crawley could get to 200 before I have to go out for lunch.

Fuck yes Creepy

I don’t think John Crawley will be happy with him taking that nickname.

How about 250+ for your first Test century? You'd take it!

Declaration when Crawley reaches 401 267?

Jimmy is the GOAT

fuck me, what a drubbing.

Some leg side worldie takes from Buttler today

Jimmy must be sick to his stomach but Azhar Ali is lovely to watch.

Is anyone else quietly laughing at how angry JA is, or is it just me?

Bless him, what a competitor.

Jimmy600 by 11.30?

Not if Buttler can help it... !

Why is test cricket in the UK still starting at 11am at the end of summer?

Seems ridiculous.

Yep at my local they start drinking at eight.

600.

GOAT

Just been reminded that I was at Lord's for his first England wicket.

[EDIT] I lie. I was at Lord's for his second England wicket. I went on the Saturday (where we took 19 Zimbabwean wickets) and he took his first on Friday evening.

Banton is so fucking fun to watch

FYI, today's game is on BBC 1, historic moment and all that

Pity England decided to put out some uninspiring bowling. Maybe they're just setting up another great run chase...
