9.30pm That's a steep target but this ground has been difficult to defend on. If there is dew tonight, we could be in for a tight one. Ekanth will tell you all about it in the second innings.
9.26pm Wow, what entertainment. Such lovely clean striking from Buttler, Samson and Hetmyer. Helped by one short boundary, and a pitch that looked good to bat on in the first 16 overs. There were a few mis-hits once Buttler got out. Did he make this pitch look better than it is? Will there be dew to make it even better to bat on?
"Enjoyed both the hundreds," says Jos Buttler. "A bit more fluent today. A little bit sticky to start off with but once you get used to it, it was good to bat on. Difficult for bowlers with one short side. Early on bowl lengths even if you get hit. Towards the end, be smart with slower ones and short lengths, and make them hit to the longer side as much as possible."
