18.1 J Archer to J Buttler
W EDGED AND GONE! Archer held his nerves and acquired a massive wicket of Jos Buttler. Another twist in the tale and Archer is pumped up here. Good length delivery with a shade away from off, Buttler makes a little room and goes for a half-hearted punch but covers the wrong line and gets a ticklish outside edge to the keeper. Buttler departs for 68(58).
18.1 J Archer to J Buttler
WD WIDEE! Archer is under the pump here. He goes for a loopy full toss outside the tramline, Buttler stands tall and leaves that to the keeper.
