Buttler, who had caught a stunning grab down the leg-side in the first innings, replicated a similar effort on the opposite side this time round. Another similarity with respect to the first innings is that Buttler ended up dropping a catch in the same innings.

How Twitterati reacted:
Meanwhile, Australia’s lead is on the vicinity of touching the 300-run mark. With seven wickets in hand, Australia would want to bat England out of this match. On the contrary, the visitors would be itching to force a batting collapse to stand a chance of chasing a fourth-innings total in this match.
