Matt Henry to Buttler, out Caught by Latham!! Edged, and it's a one-handed beauty from Latham - England are on the rocks having lost half their side. Superb bowling from Henry - it's the awayswinger once again and a tentative Buttler has a feel for it, plays from the crease, catches the outside edge and goes low to the right of the keeper - Latham had to go one-handed, he does so and comes up with a beauty. The home team are all over the tourists on a wicket which has done just enough to keep their bowlers interested. Buttler c Latham b Matt Henry 4(8) [4s-1]

Foulkes to Buttler, FOUR, nearly a 5th wicket - what are England doing? First ball and Buttler came down the pitch - Foulkes dragged the length back, it's short and Buttler goes for the pull - there are two men for the shot, one at square leg and the other at short mid-wicket, he manages to find the gap left to the diving fielder at square leg, was in the air and in the air - heart-stopping moment though for Buttler
